Default Re: Newer brakes on 40--need some help

My questions were about installing the DRUM system. I can give you a dozen reasons why I chose this drum combo, but it would be quite boring.. I am familiar with disc brakes, been building / running 4 wheel disc setups since the 60's. I just REMOVED a 4 WHEEL DISC system from my 40 PU (had Eldorado park brake calipers/Mark8 rotors on rear). Want to run stock Henry wheels (that take small 40 original cap) as wheels fit drums but not disc, therefore the later Bendix drum chosen as original rims bolt right up. (plus new service parts are readily available including drums). Have you priced reproduction 40 drums lately? Or the old type vintage Lincoln drum setup complete?!!! Or adjusted the pain in the a-- 40 set up lately?? Anyway, I've heard a 67 Mustang drum brake master has built in residual valves? Will run smaller lines and proportioning valve. Speedway looks to have most of the parts. RPM
