it stops really well now. with the shoes, e350 wheel cyl, and chevy hydroboost it stops better than my ZJ with 4 wheel disk. i do have a question, this is the only truck ive worked with that has a spedo cable. are the cables basicaly universal? i have the np205 with original spedo guage. would anyone have any tips? i dont have the original 715 cable
Just buy a CJ-7 cable and it will fit just about perfect.

a speedo cable from a '77 - '79 CJ-5 will work. I was in a pinch and used the one off my CJ-5. Order the longer cable.
thank you! ill look that up and try and get one soon. one step closer. i need a window and heater core, then hopefully i can go to brake and light inspections.
well ive done a little more work to it. my biggest question is do i have to get a custom cut window for this truck, or is their another vehicle that uses the same window? what im getting to is a local window cutter quoted me for $170 to put the windshield in.
fathers day i think ill be taking this to the rubicon.

looking good foodstamp nice work
Nice looking truck. I have an extra windshield not far up the road from you. If you are interested let me know.

I was on the Rubicon last weekend. You will not get far as it is still covered in deep snow. Ellis Creek was as far as anyone had gone. We made it just past the slabs from Loon Lake. We had a good time - just a lot different from the rock climbing that you are usually dealing with.

SO, I've read through several dozen pages and just saw that the booster was installed and no descriptions..
HOW hard/easy was it? I've got two of them and even the stock '78 gm 3/4ton one still.
Did you have to get a special length pressur/return lines?
What about prop valve? GM also or aftermarket?
Great build. E
If you are looking for a windshield, it is not shared by another vehicle but it is flat and can be easily cut from safety glass by a glass shop. Most places have the rubber seal as well...usually the price has been given as under $100 for the set.
Either make a cardboard template of the windshield opening or remove the frame and take it in...both methods work.
