Hey guys, Matt here

I've had this thing for nearly 4 years and had little to no time to work on it. recently i've been trying to get it ready to pass an inspection so i can get it registered. i've recently put an 8" booster and a 7/8 wilwood master in to get the brakes working.


donor for tub and other random odds and ends


quick rust repair using a section cut off a door














bleeding up new m/c


new brake lines throughout - tandem circuit now


new booster and m/c all fitted and bled. brakes are 1000% better, still drums though... note this is a temporary fix to get this thing registered. more to come once it has passed roadworthy...

btw thanks heaps to mokadeth for my new manifold!

Looks like it's gonna turn out nice...

FIAA!

SFPP!

Nice project . Loving the heater hoses . Never thought of that .

thanks! its little bit ghetto but i was having a hard time finding a heater tap and hoses, so i figured that will do for now.

Okay so I have finally found time between other projects to spend some time on my little chevy luv.

I fitted new brake shoes and drums to try to even out a braking issue I had previously and with a little help from my good friend mr jack daniels got it to brake in a straight line again instead of pulling off the road.

I passed the mechanical inspection for registration renewal and now all I need is my registration papers to come through (its christmas time, might have a little wait on my hands) and it is back on the road.

I also fitted the new offenhauser intake manifold as supplied by mr Mokadeth and now my little chevy runs like a dream!

Where did you find and start the wilwood booster at do they make polished or chrome ones what's the part. # thanks looking good what year is that luv truck

Apologies for the slight delay, I took some time out to work on other projects...

Its not a wilwood booster, i cant remember exactly what it is i just found something that might fit and modified the linkages to suit.

It turns out the master cylinder (260-9439-BK) and 8" booster combo was a little too violent with front and rear drums so i removed the booster and it feels great now.

I've had this thing for 8 years now and have been really enjoying driving it in its current glory but i think its time to make some small changes.
