Re: A '54 named Busty
Good work on this man, way to soldier on through. The new brake parts look nice and even the adjustments look good. Soon you'll be stopping with the best of them... Uh, I don't really know what that means, but it sounds good ;)

Re: A '54 named Busty
ha ha, yes me too, since I can not work on my truck I have been working on myself and have lost 20 pounds in the last 7 weeks, so I am super happy with that, mostly diet and swimming
my wife's 2 weeks of bed rest has turned into 3 and then light moving around after that, I did not want to cut and grind and make noise while she was already on pain killers and such hope to finish the trans crossmember before winter officially starts |

Re: A '54 named Busty
I know you are secretly saying FINALLY.
It's great to see a plate. Now we need to see it sitting in the driveway with the plate attached and some rubber dust hanging off the rear fenders after your burn out. Haha Congrats man. |

Re: A '54 named Busty
oh give me a brake, ha ha
so today we decided it was time to relocate the proportioning valve from under the master cylinder as there was no way to fit it there wedged between it and the trans crossmember, so we mounted it to the frame, quickly realizing the provided 12" brake lines we no longer going to reach Fun Fact: them two brake lines though both of the same 3/16th diameter have three count them THREE different size fittings on them, I think that is so that you don't screw them in the wrong holes, but NAPA doesn't carry 3/16ths hose with different fitting sizes, if you want a bigger fitting you get a bigger line |

Re: A '54 named Busty
the proportination valve mounted to the frame nicely, requiring only one extra "speed" hole to be drilled
progress not perfection people |

Re: A '54 named Busty
I was so impressed by the young man at NAPA who helped me find this adapter, this will tie in the rear brake line into the butt of the proportioning valve
