Re: Parking Brake

What are you rocking for all that stuff? looks like a ford 9 inch? with what breaks? I have been wanting to swap my 57 rear end for something with discs. I have been thinking about an explorer 8.8 for the costs. Thanks

It is a ford 9" it was cheep,but did have Dutchman's shorten housing 10" and build new axles.Brakes are from Jegs.Everytime the parking brake is used it make sure brakes are adjusted

Re: Parking Brake

Slick setup, I have to leave in a few minutes to go pick up a nine inch rear axle I bought for my 48. Since Dutchmans moved to Idaho I'll be taking mine to a shop in Harrah that specializes in cutting down rear axles.

Re: Parking Brake

That's cool the way you drilled those bolts length wise to make the cable stops.
