Lifted NNBS CCLB Dirtymax from Slamology. This thing is a behemoth.

Oh I know it's a work in progress, it has been for YEARS. IIRC he was collecting parts and drawing up plans years before he ever bought the truck. I have talked to Mark quite a few times online, I know he is very knowledgeable, it's just a little over the top for me.
Why doesn't anybody keep air brakes on the rockwells, air is so much better for stopping power. Truck is huge, but yeah things like the exhaust, chrome bedrails, chrome tailgate cap, and a few other things make it look cheap and takeaway from the suspension imo. I also agree that it will never be taken offroad because if all that gets dirty once, it would never be the same no matter how much you clean it
Uh, you do realize that many of these 2.5 ton rockwells are not air brake equipped to start with, and it would require a lot more work to convert them. (some of the Deuces are air over hydraulic, the calipers are still hydraulically activated) And I'm not sure where you get the idea that air brakes provide more stopping power, because that is not the case. Hydraulic brakes can be built to provide the same or much more stopping power. The benefit of air brakes is the ability to run the truck and trailer off one system, having two braking systems (service and emergency) running off one set of controls that will failsafe to lock up the brakes rather than losing brakes all together, and the ability to have full braking power if the engine dies.
Not to mention the obvious weight savings with disk vs drum.

Yeah I do, we have 2 ton trucks with air brakes and with air over hydraulic, and the full air systems are better, however both stop very well respectively. I am fully aware of how air brakes function, but didn't know that rockwells came with disks on them.
They don't come with disks on them, at least not to my knowledge. (I meant to say wheel cylinders where I put calipers above when talking about the air over hydraulic.)
The S-10 is still in progress. It started out as a RCLB, but he built a complete new frame from the a-pillar back and made it into an ECLB. It's stock floor body-dropped and bagged. 20/22 combo with Corvette brakes in the front and a Ford 9" in the rear. It also has a 406 with 4 bolt main. The frame is done, but there is a lot of body work left to do. He wanted to take the truck out there, so we bolted the bed and cab on, and drug it out.

Omg. It would be a problem. There would be so many little Bossier sluts sucking your dick the skin would get raw.
I liked his blue truck better, mark is a super nice guy though, and if you need parts, dude can find them anywhere
