Bad ass truck! It would look cool if you cut the rear fenders and stretched them to cover those big ass tires, it would look like a dually.

I don't want to, but I may need to out of necessity though. I really don't want to.
Any suggestions on brakes? trying to decide between running the abs distribution block or come straight out of the master cylinder to the brakes. Thoughts?

straight is cleaner, less flares, less potential leaks?

I would add a proportioning valve in there to fine tune them.

You mean aside from the stock one built into the Superduty hydroboost master cylinder? The reason I say that is I thought the stock master cylinder already split the braking 60/40 itself.

It's just nice to be able to fine tune it. I have alot more in the front than in the back. Makes burn outs easier to get fast wheel sleep out of it. And also helps keep my truck from pushing threw the brakes. But I have tiny calipers in the rear and they pretty much don't do anything. Yours is probably diffrent. I've just found that behind able to hold it on the line is A very big issue with 2wd trucks and every bit of adjustability helps.

I see. Ok. Thanks.
Yeah I hear ya on the brakes. I have the F-250 drums on the back and they're actually plenty. The front though are the 86 F-150 brakes. I got some drilled and slotted rotors and ceramic pads. That might help them to work with the big drums in the back.

I also dont have a sd master cylinder but I do have a hydraboost so you might not have any problems but I have to run a pinion brake too and it still isn't enough to hold more than 18psi

Hmm... I might think about a pinion brake. Problem is I don't have a diff that separates like most vehicles that have a pinion brake. (as in the 9") It'll be tough to do that.

If you can hold it on the line there is no need. The extra rotating mass is a down fall.

I can barely hold it now with my white truck. Hopefully it'll be ok. I got upgraded front brakes. The drums are pretty good honestly. We'll try it and see what happens I guess. First thing is first. I have to get it all put together. I should start getting my new toys for it tomorrow and monday. Today I'm going to get the engine pulled and roll the chassis outside for blast and paint.

Took me a minute, lookin at this picture, to figure out why it seemed "off."
Been a while since I saw a 5 lug rotor lol.

You should try building the brake system. Wowser. It's pretty tough to keep straight. Lol!

I'm ordering a few Dieselsite products probably Monday. Hpop resivour spacer, High Volume LPOP, and their billet HPOP drive gear cover. If I can get them to send me one, I'm going to run their Overdrive with an Adrenaline. That ought to push plenty of oil. I have a couple Adrenalines in stock so I just need an Overdrive which they say aren't ready yet.
Also, Irate is going to send me a set of S360's and piping for the parallel setup.
As of right now my S482 FMW with race cover and 1.1 turbine housing is for sale. If I get the Overdrive from Dieselsite, the Stealth dual pumps will be for sale as well. $1800 for the turbo since it has ran a total of about 5-6 track passes and that is it. That sucker is bran new. The dual pumps (if they sell) will be $1,200. It has kept up with my oil thirsty 400/400's perfectly. I just want something a little more clean and streamlined for asthetics. They work perfectly, don't leak, and kept up just fine. Let me know if ya'll are interested.
And before anyone asks, no I'm not selling the T4 kit or headers. Please don't ask.... Again.
