Re: Dutch 1955 build
Looks good.
I see you have the residual pressure valves in your brake lines. I don't think you need them because your master cylinder is higher than your wheel cylinders. I thought they were only used to keep the fluid from flowing back into the master cylinder when it is lower than the wheel cylinders. Kim |

Re: Dutch 1955 build
Is that gas pedal setup custom fabricated?? I really wanted to use a stock style pedal linkage that ran into the floor but could not find a way to make it work with a cable like you have!
If it was purchased, may I ask where you got it?

Re: Dutch 1955 build
I just started following your build. I must say that I am very impressed with the work you have done on this truck. I wish I would have seen this thread before I started on my truck. But, mine is almost finished and I am pretty pleased with the way it turned out. I really like everything that you have done. This is going to be one very impressive truck when it rolls out for the final showing. I just love it.
Bill
