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.

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!

big_al_71 · 04-23-2011, 04:09 PM

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...

Well saturday night my 2 1/2 year old and my self cleaned up sylvester as good as we could with his help. i was kind of undecided if we were going to go to a car show today or not.
Well I decided to go with him and we had a great time we were there till the end and my truck won best truck in the show. there were about 100 or so cars and trucks I will post a link for all the picts once they are loaded. I wanted to share with you all....

bobshotrodblazer · 05-01-2011, 08:51 PM

Thank for the compliments. Hang in there it is not easy but persistence beats resistance. I agree about getting the kids involved.
