93 C1500 Drum-Disc brake system bleed

Just picked up the new brake lines for the rear & I happened to come across this handy fella. Called LiquiVac 8 quart oil changing system. It states it’s for use of all types of oils, grease, etc… But absolutely no gasoline. I added and changed around the hoses so it’ll fit right over a bleeder...

93 C1500 Drum-Disc brake system bleed

Good afternoon, I have a 1993 Chevy C1500 2wd ext cab 5.7L. I did the brake conversion to remove factory drum brakes and install disc brakes. Also I installed a new I guess to say performance style master cylinder for a couple key reasons. But I’ve never done this big of a brake fluid bleed...

93 C1500 rear brake drum to caliper conversion help

Smart move I see where your taking your build. Do you know off hand if this place has that kit in stock or on backorder? I wasn’t able to find out so I shot them an email. If I didn’t go with the Wilwood which I’m just guessing is a single piston caliper. Would in your opinion, that single...

93 C1500 rear brake drum to caliper conversion help

Thank you Mr. Pink. I was not able to find a phone number to contact so I sent them an email. I couldn’t tell if that kit contains the single piston calipers and upgrading to the wilwood which would double the price. What additional installation would be needed, if any, and how many pistons...

I was curious if anyone was going to notice or question my hood setup. I dont recall the model but I came across a Buick car with that reverse hood out in a salvalge yard. I used that design, but had to change it in a few different ways. But others at shows with their hoods flipped forward...

That is awesome, I'm completely in the same mindset as your describing. Yes, i'm sick of the one wheel peel as well...;) The only difference is you seem like you show and race your truck is what I'm taking from talking with you. It'll always be a show truck for me, but I absolutely want to add...

That looks like a good project. What made you change your gearing to begin with?

Wow, I just watched the first minute and he seems thorough. If I was to drop my diff cover, besides visually broken pieces. Is there anything else you recommend when checking to see how good of shape the gears are in?

See I don’t know anything about counting and dividing. I’m thinking I should replace the fluid and drop that rear cover. Just to be safe before the 1300 mile drive.

Thanks Kenny, appreciate that. Well I’m driving this truck back up to Michigan where i know a group of guys who build high performance drag cars. I’ve painted many of their race & show cars as well. Since I’m not the most knowledgeable with performance, and they know the trucks history. They are...

Thank you, I was 17 and couldn’t afford the “Caddy Kit” so I created a bracket that held the caddy lights I found in a salvage yard. Once I figured out how I wanted that welded in. It was just a matter of forming the metal. I used several areas to cut and form hence the welds in the photos. I’m...

Ya it’s a 10 bolt and I don’t know on the gearing. I started on rare occasions getting one wheel locking up. So thinking it was the brakes. I replaced everything with the drum brakes. I had to set it aside due to a family emergency and now getting back into it. I also would feel this pull I...
