Do they have the e brake on em?
These ones dont, I bought calipers without an e brake mechanism for now because they were only 18 bucks a caliper and I wanted to make sure they worked properly. Then Ill switch to el dorado calipers with have the e brake mechanism in them, Only downside is those calipers are around 90 bucks with a 50 dollar core

Got some nice custom billet badges for both trucks from my girlfriend!
marry that girl! lol
LOL she is definitely a keeper!
Finally some more progress pics, its been kind of hectic lately
All the brake lines ran, auto world brackets mounted
Cam install, it will have to come out though, I didnt press the gear on enough so its got a little bit of excessive endplay right now
And the 86 is looking a little sad, hopefully Ill have the drivetrain in by the end of the week though so I can set the cab on and start mocking everything up to tear it back down for paint

really like this build. lots of pics. i have always liked the 86 front end look.
thanks! 86 has always been one of my favorites too
And for everyone asking if Im gonna put the correct bed on the truck, I was just going to skin this one, but I just lucked out and was contacted by a member on compd that is selling me an entire OEM rust free bed and tailgate off an 83! Im pretty happy to be picking this up saturday

An 86 F250 was the first truck I ever drove, love the looks of 'em.

ill trade you a ranger......i will even through in the packet of black ice trees, no one can say no to that
Yeah I loved having this as a first truck, I cant wait to be driving around in it again
Should have got rid of the geo or we would have a deal, but two packets of black ice trees is tempting...
and its already black so you don't have to paint it :thumbsup:
Black spray paint FTW! Only problem is I decided the truck isnt gonna be just black now so i guess we will have to paint the bed
