ok so i am looking at pictures of trucks on the brothers site that they put on here.

http://www.truckshows.org/index-gal.php

the 2008 best of show is a 69-70 Chevy. it has a smooth firewall on it. my question is.

where are they putting everything?

only thing on the firewall is the stering colum comming out of it nothing else. not even a master cylinder. are they barny rubeling it or does it just get pushed everywhere.

They either put the master cylinder in the dash or under the cab in the frame rails its a good way to clean up the firewall for sure.

It looks good but I don't understand how they are doing it and how they make everything work right.

CPP makes a brake master cylinder relocation system the puts it on the frame rail under the the cab. As far as the climate control, you can either get rid of it all leaving you with nothing, or you can get the Vintage Air retrofit kit, which has everything you need to fit that stuff under the dash

Marks if you go to http://www.customclassictrucks.com and search the site for prodject get shorty you will come up with a lot of build articles. I am 100% sure he did a vintage air set up and i think he did a master cylinder relocation also but i dont remember if its in the dash or under the cab never the less his articles are great reads and the pics had me drooling the whole time.

ya know i am an old fart. a backwoods Arkansas boy. and if its not in the right place that it is supposed to be then i have a hard time seeing it in my head. maybee oneday i will see one in person and it will all click how it works out of place. but untill then i will just leave things where they are supposed to be. heck this thing im typen on still agivates me. the picture always messes up when i try to use correction fluid.

to do mods like that you take one at a time and then you fabricate relocate and outthink the problem. after you solve the first then you go to the next
research thru specialty catalogues and talking to builders helps alot
