After looking over the good looking work your dad is doing may i suggest that you use the pre 87 Trooper rotors as they are vented and half the weight of the stock Luv rotors.I your dad can make these hubs at a good market price and using the Trooper rotors i would venture to say you have a way to off set some of your build costs and i even might be interested to.


Same here!

ive talked with my dad about making more pairs of hubs. he is interested in making some extra for some extra money but hasnt came up with a price. plus he has to find extra time at work to be making them too. i asked for some kinda rough estimate price he said probably around 300.. then price of new rotors or send yours to us so he can redrill them as well.. but thats just a rough price. may be up or down from that. plus i want to get mine on the truck and get pics of them all installed... but ill keep everyone updated.


and do the trooper rotors have the same specs at stock luv rotors? just vented?

Just to keep things going while you are at it and stripped down now would be a good time to put in a rack and pinion steering as it would steer easier and take about 30-35 lbs. min. off the nose.

im going to keep factory steering. i like how it keeps my steering shaft clear for headers.

not much work has been done to it since last pics.. shaved wiper cowl, and front fenders. might tinker with it some today. ive been looking at headers. trying to find a set of longtubes thatll work.
