The Jalopy Journal
Thanks for the suggestions fellas. Bump for the evening crowd.
Hey folks, I'm working on an article about notable L.A.-area junkyards, and I'm in need of good, preferably high-res digital images of the old...
Ordered up a Delco disc/drum manual master for a 76 C10. Closest I could find to what I've been looking for. Has a 1" bore, which ought to be...
Yeah I'm probably overthinking it. Looks like most calipers, truck or car spec, shared that bore size of 2.94" in 1973. Rotors for 1/2 ton are...
That's possible. Strange that there would be two catalog numbers though. The calipers for 1/2 and 3/4 ton are listed as same part, same bore size,...
But why the distinction between 1/2 and 3/4 ton specifically, with no clearly marked manual cylinder for the heavier chassis? I know the manual...
Thanks, 31. I actually came across thats page in my searching, but the only cylinder definitively marked as "without power brakes" is for a 1/2...
Would either of you happen to have a part number? I haven't been able to find one disc/drum with the small bore. I don't have the calipers in...
I should probably add that the rear brakes will stay stock 66 drums. Will need a residual valve in the drum port presumably, which is why I've...
Everything is from a 73 c20. No manual cylinder available for that year as far as I know. I was pretty sure there'd be a dual manual disc/drum...
Putting together a junkyard eight lug front disc brake setup for my 66 c20. At this point I've got everything but the master cylinder and prop...
Awesome. Thanks much
How about early boxes on late frames? 34 box on 36 frame, for instance.
Bump once more
I'm bad at searching I guess, and this is likely a stupid question but I couldn't find whether there was a significant dimensional difference...
Montrose, CA. Good show this year. Some particularly sweet rides displayed by The Trompers C.C.
Sharp eye. Mine definitely have that.
Indeed. Even that's too pricy, unfortunately. Would be well over three grand to do glass fenders and boards through Wescott's. I was kind of...
Yeah man, that thing's beautiful. I really wish full fenders weren't so expensive.
Whoa, that looks great
Excellent. I'm seeing the difference now. Killer pickup, by the way. Any more pics?
Ok, I think I got it. Thanks much. Looks like the roof is flatter/rounder depending as well
Like a crease versus a curve? Is that right?
Thanks. Saw that thread but not real clear about the a pillar angle. What are you seeing that says 36 for sure?

Just picked up a decent Ford cab out of a late-model wrecking yard (go figure). This will be my first time messing with a fat fender of any kind....
Feel free to post them to this thread, though.
Interesting that these fresh comments are verbatim what rbantique quoted as being posted on imcdb in 2009...i don't think I'll be emailing anybody...
Death by musketball would be a ridiculous way to go. Think I'll pass on that.
Cool car. Much, much nicer starting material than my 35, which I just pulled out of the wrecking yard in Monrovia. Hey, I'd be surprised if you...
