1978 Blazer - Page 7 - Lateral-g Forums

Brake pedal feel. By putting the booster and master together and coping the pedal ratio of the Tahoe the brake pedal feel should be the same as the Tahoe. The only wild card is how keeping the rear drum brakes will effect things. If it is not good I’ll add the dicks to the back.

The 1978 booster had very poor brake pedal feel.

I also wanted the look of the modern booster and master.

To further update the truck I also added the Detroit Speed wiper motor and windshield squirters.

Hope to drive it as soon as I put the seats back in it. They are out getting redone with Chevy Highland Plaid material.

What did you do about the rear end and gearing? 10 or 12 bolt, 1 leg or posi?

Stock 12 bolt open diff. It is DEAD quite. I though about a post but it works great with no noise. I’m a little afraid to mess with it.

Again not a track car so on open is fine.

New seat covers going in today. This was on option on some GM products I think, called “Highland Plaid”. I’ll post some photos when we get it back together.

Are they dog hair resistant?

I love the simplicity of this build. Everything has a purpose and nothing is overdone.

Great work as always.

I assume your braking split is front/rear in this vehicle, but do you ever do diagonal in your other builds? If not, reason? Thanks
