Frank, I know you have been looking at that color since 77 so you might be tired of it. From the outside looking in I would have to vote that you keep it. Maybe add a second "factory" color if your really bored, but beyond that it looks killer as it is.....

Excellent! I really like the E-Brake setup.
I know you say it's silver but the photo's and lighting (possibly reflection of the sunset) make it appear to have brown/grey tint. Now I just have to look through the paint chip book to find a color close to what the color looks like in your photos.
Very Nice!!

Hey Frank, I will be in your area New Years weekend, and would love to check out your truck if you will be around. Coming down to hang out with my buddy Scott, who lives around the 183 and 1431 area in Leander. I will shoot you a PM as well. That truck is just killer.

apstguy · 12-16-2004, 04:09 PM

That truck is just plain sweet. BTW is that a brake on the driveshaft?

Goodys86 · 12-16-2004, 04:39 PM

Man, that's coming together nicely. Those wheels are sweet. I like the seats too, I may have to get me some of those.

Sort of. It's mounted to the pinion yoke.
I heated the parking brake system that came with the rear calipers so decided if I really need a parking brake then this would be the easiest and cleanest set up.

when i put my 9 in, i just reused the stock ford drum backing plates and hooked the parking brake cables up, did the same thing with the brakelines, it all worked. just needed to adjust the cables afterwards.
