      Thanks to Ron S and a bunch of other intelligent people in the Search section of Disc Brakes,
      I Ordered my Wilwood Pedal assembly and 7/8 Tandem Master Cylinder as well as clutch master. there is tons of info that i read up on about what to go with especially going from power to manual brakes, And what one guy said on a link to Lateral G, "If there is a rod hanging out the side of the car, manual brakes will still come to a stop"

      got a few boxes from wilwood



      pedals had to be moved toward the seat so i made a box to fit everything and mount the assmblies and fitted it





      then somehow after i got them in the measurement was off in the height 2 inches... so i had to cut it back out and decided id do it legit and cut all my driver firewall out


      then made a template for the new piece



      i also machined off some of the material off the air compressor mounts. i dont need it 1/2 the whole way.. i guess a little weight saving doesnt hurt

      Your truck is sick. You do really nice work and especially for your age. I'm a bit jealous.

      This is partially why i do it. keeping a positive outlook on my ****ty generation. I grew up on old school religion, 32-34 coupes, American Graffiti, and no alcohol. Why buy a new truck when i can build the truck of my dreams?.. well almost

      passenger firewall is done and seam sealed around the inside... driver side is being a PITA with that pedal box, but ill make it work, gotta cut the box down about in inch, trying to get as much leg room as possible.

      I almost went with a Chevy bolt pattern on my Plymouth. I custom ordered the rear and I could have changed my Wilwood hubs around. I stayed with the factory pattern. Sometimes I wish I would have so I could have snagged a used set of premium wheels easier.

      It's good to have options though.

      Issue with Wilwood hubs or anything for that matter is 5.5 on 5 isn't a typical pattern, and never one for any sort of race application. Kinda sucks but in living with it. I really dont want to run adapters but there isn't enough room to drill such a large pattern

      Tonight i ordered an Ididit tilt steering column, and cut all but a half inch off the pedal box, and i dropped the driver floor down 3" so the pedals could move forward. it wasnt perfectly comfortable when i was sitting in it so i figured do it now instead of regreting it later...

      Got the upper A arms tacked into location with extra tubing to notch, and tested how far the suspension travel is. and it will drop to the ground stuffing the 20's on corvette c5 suspension. pretty pumped about that.



      also finished the center section to my firewall had it all laser cut at work/ as well as redesign and welded in the pedal box


      then got a roll on the engine cover since the center section of the firewall will be tigwelded to the engine cover i wanted to prove everything out before i started at it

      This is a a top 5 build on here for sure and that is saying a lot. I love the square bodies and this one is really going to be amazing.

      been doing alot of customer car work but that just means more income for the c10

      Tonight i tackled one of the hardest things ive had to do yet, and thats make a contoured cut in a blind area, it came out fantastic and do not think i could ever do it so nice again if i had to.

      thats the picture inside the cowl

      oh and i forgot to mention i had to pull the cab off and shorten the frame 1.5" because the truck isnt factory wheel base anymore for some reason... the front wheel was off center 3"... so the motor is back 1.5" more now so i had to remake the engine tunnel wider and also made it higher for the future fuel rails, 3" higher



      more to come of coarse.
