Nice truck DJMAN but got a question for ya. Why do you have two adjustable brake proportioning valves installed? It is not recommended to do this as you typically only want one on the rear line. The fronts you want to get full pressure from the MC and then adjust the rear so they lock up just slightly after the fronts do. You never want to limit the front line pressure as it does the majority of the work, especially in a truck.

Very interesting truck BC. Do you have a build thread going? Looks like some frame mods happening to get that wide radiator in there.
That combo ought to be fun in that lite shorty.

Thanks for the info. I'll look into that. (I saw this done on race cars)

Man, I really like that. Interior is real nice. Kinda reminds me of something I want to do.

How much did it run to recover those seats if you don't mind me asking? I'll be doing the same to some truck seats soon hopefully.

I can answer that! It is a vacuum reservoir that goes into the cab and sucks on something related to heat/ac. Mine came with a broken bracket but I found a plastic globe shaped replacement and then broke that one. I'm going back to the original with a couple of tacky hose clamps or something until I find a better looking one.

A total jaw-dropper! Question: What is that color and is it authentic? That's the exact color mine was originally.

Just got my '72 Cheyenne last Thursday from it's previous owner in Marina del Rey, California. I love all classic American trucks but the 67-72 GM trucks are the pinacle in my opinion.
