Welcome to the forum Chris
Sounds like you have a great 4x project in the works. Being a fellow fabricator, I am anxious to see more pics. I've been wanting to build my '63 4x4 Suburban for sometime now. I'll just have to settle for my '75 Blazer instead, as it will be less work.
I like the looks of that TC e-brake setup. How/where does a guy find more details on that? Pirate?
