Deadbeats 1997 Centurion Conversion

[deadbeat]

I am gonna buy them new, id be afraid cleaning them would leave one with a weak spring or something. The labor time is too much to not.

That hydroboost stuff is all here now, I can't wait to put it in. But, I gotta stick a motor in a 99 Escalade this weekend or early next week. I may pull it tomorrow morning, its a crate motor so I gotta switch the oil pan, and put the intake and exhaust manifolds on the new motor.

I got a little sidetracked today, didn't get to work on the truck like I wanted to. The escalade I was parting out a few months ago, my dad bought the whole thing and wanted it fixed. So, I pulled the motor this morning, he bought a crate motor that I will drop in it some time next week. It took me hours to have it on the floor, and I didn't have to use the torch on the exhaust bolts.

I still have yet to put the hydoboost brakes on the truck, after some adjusting and using the e brake the pedal finally has a really good feel that I am afraid to bother. But, I did get a 1999 ccsb 3/4 ton frame that I have to pick up next week. I will seperate the c section from the boxed and put a 1/2 ton boxed front on it, just like I did dads centurion and then my truck should be pretty solid. Pics of that should come within the next year or so, I have very little time these days to work on it. I am building a garage right now but with material so high and it being so muddy, it has been put on hold.

I wish I could move the posts here over to this thread, but here is one I created about building my frame.

A moderator could merge the threads.

It's no big deal, this thread is too dang long anyway

Instead of merging, because that'll basically just append those posts to this thread, I'll edit the first post in each thread with a link to the other. I think that'll be cleaner and not muddy up anything.

It was a Tahoe, so wouldn't work with a crew cab.
