Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
Al... I never get tired of looking at your truck! Im not sure you can improve on it with new wheels.... ART would be sweet though.

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
Hi Al. I've poured over your entire thread so far and your truck is simply beautiful. I have a question though, how well does your truck brake with the manual setup? I have just purchased a disc brake conversion for my 69, but don't have any experience with manual disc/drum combo. Again, great looking truck!

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
The manual brakes work perfect but you have to really push the pedal when needed. I really like the clean look of not having a booster. Thanks for the compliment on my bucket. Any questions just ask away...
