I think I'm going to go with Scottshotrods under the dash mount for my brake stuff.;) I need a 7" booster, double vette style MC and valve for disk/disk.

I don't hate him, he's just weird. Did you talk to him? He has a funny voice when he talks to people, but that's not his real voice. :uhmk::lol:

From the San Fernando Valley (Reseda) to Santa Barbara was my area when I worked for Snap On Diagnostic. Ventura and Oxnard was right in the middle.

Picked up a EZ harness from ebay. Went with Scotts under dash mount, booster, MC and valve. Only cost about a bill more than the frame mounted kind. I think it will save me a lot of headaches.

I used the EZ Wire kit for pickups, found it very easy to install.. just follow the directions, One wire at a time, take your time, and solder all connections and cover with shrink tubing. Makes it almost bullet proof..

I went with the firewall mounting booster and have been very happy with it. Felt that there wasn't enough room under the dash and wanted to get it up from the frame...

Ordered my conversion from IC Industrial Chassic in AZ, Steve great guy to work with and really into trucks.. Also got a kit to put a 95 Dodge Dakota front end under my truck without cutting the frame. 12" disk brakes, power rack and pinon stearing, and A arms. If I ever need parts just go to the dodge dealer and order.

Re: Daverods 52
 
Slick! Question, how do you add more/check brake fluid after you get everything back on the dash?

A big hypo? They make remote reservors. I don't really know. yet. I bet you could do it through the glove box. How often do you really have to fill it anyways.
