Thanks for the kind words GulfCoast, Bomp and TJ! I appreciate them!

It has been a while since I have posted an update. I have been busy plugging away on the truck as I have time. I decided to go ahead and tackle the front brake upgrade in conjunction with performing the rust repair on the cab floors. In my mind it is easier to do all of that work while the front clip is off anyways.

I have swapped over the components from the donor 1971 front ends. I retained the original 1965 control arms but installed new 1971 ball joints. I also swapped over all of the 1971 steering components to ensure there wouldn't be any compatibility issues. I also installed the 1971 sway bar. I fabricated a bracket to mount the 1992 Suburban brake booster and master cylinder (still need to clean it up and paint it). The test fit worked out well and will provide good data from which to perform the brake booster input rod mod.

Here are a few pictures to document the progress.
