As usual I ran into a little unexpected issue when I started on the brake for the truck. The old chrome master cylinder I had planned on rebuilding and using ended up having a bore to badly pitted to clean up and put a kit in. I ordered a new cylinder and it and the proportioning valve finally got here Friday. In spite of Easter and a couple of guests showing up unannounced a day early I did managed to get the brake lines done on the 37 this weekend.

I spent a little time figuring out a place to mount the adjustable proportioning valve where it would be out of the way and not too noticeable but fairly easy to get to make adjustments on. I settled on putting it here.





I still have to adjust the brake pedal push rod and bleed the system, but that should be done today. After the brakes are bled that should only leave getting the fuel lines and pumps installed and a battery cable run to the solenoid…….well kind of. As the fuel tank and battery box are going to be mounted in the bed I’ve decided to do the bed floor before I move on to the fuel lines and battery cables. I ordered the bed strips and battery box on Friday and hopefully they will be in sometime this week. So today or tomorrow I’ll get to the lumber yard and try to find some wood I like. The fun never ends .
