I plan to get out to junkyard early Sunday to do some picking. I found a rear sway bar that I'm going to pull and I found what looks like factory ac unit. I will upload some pics after I get home with parts.

Truck looks real nice.

[timmytim]

Thanks mark.....I didnt get ac because on second look it wasnt as clean as I thought. I did get the sway bar for a cool 18 dollars

Had some set backs, my wife wreaked her van and then 20 tornadoes ripped through my state. I've been doing alot of volunteer work. I have ordered some new bushing for my rear swaybar and I plan to finish my brake upgrade this week!!

[timmytim]

I finished my power brake conversion today. I bought a cardone reman booster and it calls for an adjustable rod. I had to scratch my head a few times on that one ... And I couldnt find an adjustable rod at the bone yard. I figured out its threaded for a 7/16-20 stud. No one in birmingham alabama has such a stud. I found a shop online that hooked me up on the stud and the local lowes had a rod end i used. If you need this stud or any other hard to find brake parts checkout matt at fattyschassis.com....

eah ou caught me timmytim. Guilty as charged. manual drums. Love to get mine stopping better. pricing goodies now. think mine will be more fun lowered a little with power discs. rebuilding 77 front for mine. Not too bad but lots of little price gouges!!

[timmytim]

I know they say there is suppose to be brake fade with drum brakes but my drums stop so good now that they are power I dout I will ever go to disk brakes. If money wasn't a object I would set my truck up with anti-lock brakes. But for now I'm happy

I forgot to upload the pics of my new brake lines, here u go friends
