Thanks man, Does anyone have a diagram or can tell me what lines go where on a hydroboost? I am probably going to get one for my truck because I like how much cleaner they look than a vaccum booster. I have searched and read up on them a little but I cant find exactly what goes where.

Re: Body droppin 2 dimes at the same time

We got a lot done today, one of our friends from the club we are in came down today to see what was going on with the trucks and helped us all day. We got the firewall welded up, the frame horns cut, dropped, and rewelded, we cut the fenders and put them and core support on to test fit everything and the fenders line up better now then they did before the bodydrop. We also cut a huge hole in the stock hood for now, he is either going to get a cowl hood or we are gonna do some kinda hood scoop, he was thinking about a cavi intake swap but he doesnt have tubular control arms so thats gonnna have to wait. Tomorrow we are going to get the radiator leaned back, put the firewall tubs in, hopefully get the pedals cut, bent and put back in, and maybe get the master cylinder leaned back and start on some wiring. We didnt get any pics today except 1 I took on my phone with the fenders on, but hopefully we will have some tomorrow of all the progress.

Re: Body droppin 2 dimes at the same time

nice progress, does your radiator hit the frame horns since they are straight up and down? I learned that one the hard way, why not mod your motor parts to accept the stock hood? You guys are making some great progress keep it up.

Thanks man, we leaned the radiator in at the bottom to clear the frame horns and got a longer lower radiator hose to reach. We had some pics of the truck layd out showing the clearance we got from the tubs and by leanin the clutch master cylinder in but i guess he decided not to post em up. Now all we have to do to have the cab finished is finish puttin the 3 or so fillers we lack, clean up the welds on the firewall, weld up the heater holes, run wiring, seam seal and undercoat everything, and put it back together unless I just left something out. I have to work like 5 days this week on top of going to school full time so i probably wont go out to work but maybe 1 day this week, patrick said he was going to try to get everything close to being done so we can hopefully cut into my cab next week.
