    Yea, my baby, I love that ole truck. Just love the way they ride & drive. Crate HO350. 225 on her. Whole new front end goin in suspension and all.

    Interesting shopping story. Priced out a new front end from Oreillys, about 750ish. Found a complete replacement kit on Amazon for 275! Also needed a caliper for one that froze up. Go to shop calipers and can get a pair for 150-200. Found a kit with Hi-pro calipers, drilled and slotted rotors and ceramic pads for 215.

    Saweet!!!

    Looks like it tossed around some bits-N-pieces off dersparkenpluggen.

    Yea, I would run them based on what I see. Important thing is what do the SEATS look like. If they look the same then its time to consider a plan of action. If they are as slick as the cylinder seal surfaces I can see there then they are fine.

    I used a scotch brite pad on them that is why its no longer covered in carbon

    The seals do not seem to have any damage and they open and close.

    Scotch brite is fine.

    I mean SEATS which are underneath the valves that we can see. Only you can see the seat when you pop open the valve. They should be slick, clean and shiney.....no nicks allowed like in the cylinders.
