I have that same moser rear cover saved in my favorites. I need to make sure I can fit it in, and maybe a watts link setup after I get my Boyd's tank installed.

Looks great Larry. I love my wilwoods up front. Do your rears have a parking brake?

The Moser cover is awesome and looks and feels bullet proof :metal: Yes the rears have a parking that's what the drum brakes are for in the first pic I posted today. Not sure if I can make them work on mine yet or not because of the 12" wheels. :mm:

Thanks Jesse, it is always a great birthday when you can get some truck parts in :lol: You can't go wrong with these, a great product and very easy to install. The nice thing with these I used on the back all you remove to change brake pads is the wheel and one big cotter pin :chevy:
You can actually see the cotter pin in the close up shot I took, pull it and they slide out the top.

Remember that cover will require a curved panhard bar. ;). Something else cool to add to the moneypit. Btw...Happy B'Day.

Thanks, yes it is on backorder :devil: but I did order one. I just cannot resist the cool stuff :lol: glad my wife doesn't come on here or I wouldn't be able to share with you guys. :chevy:

Ahhhhh.. I noticed the shoes looked brand new and saw the mounts for the calipers but didn't put two and two together.
