Haven't learned to do that just yet. When it comes to trucks, my philosophy is: the heavier the better. Just having air brakes ( hard to find in lower series trucks), eliminates the problem of the pesky hydraulic brake parts. If this truck had Budds ( west coast thing) I'd be serious about it. Maybe swap out the old low ratio gas rear end, with a higher ratio diesel rear end ( R 170) ?
