i already posted this in the truck talk forum, but what the hey!
it's a 66 short styleside. originally 352/com.
it's getting disc brakes off a 73 f100. out with the old:
i'll get pics of the install when i get to the other side this weekend. it's supposed to be in the 40's, so maybe i'll get some work done.

got the brake hoses on today and started bleeding the brakes so i can get it moved to the driveway to swap in the 360, but the master cylinder is leaking into the cab. looks like i need to get a dual pot for disc/drums.
anyone know a good place to get a proporsioning valve for a 73 up truck? lmc wants 250$.
anyone know if i can use a dual pot drum/drum mc and plug the rear hole just to get enough brakes to get up into the driveway?

This is the least expensive one that I have seen for new.

Chris ....why not just use a factory one. Unless you are doing something way out with the brakes. You can even hook up the light to let you know of uneven pressure( blown line)

tim, the factory p/valves are 250 from lmc. i haven't priced one from the local parts house yet, but i can't find one on thier websites.
i understand that i need the disc/drum p/v and not the original metering block that the 66 uses. correct?

That's correct!, I don`t know why people say your dumb Agarn!
and remember to pull the little tit on the front of the P/valve while bleeding the brakes..

got the seat out and cut out the hump for the removable piece.
trying to figure out what this was supposed to be for???
my swap meet grille and h/l doors:
free cc handle trim. it's ugly, but so is the rest of the truck:
anyone have any idea what the shifter is out of? it has the matching turn signal lever as well:
that's it until i can get a nice weekend to work.

That particular hole is there for when the very rare Vert model is ordered,so when it gets too hot! or if it rains!, you can stand the umbrella in it!, simple!!!

oh no. those are very distinctive. it's the chunk of indoor/outdoor carpet and heater hose that sets those off.
