Re: Low buck 52 / 53 farm truck

I finally got the parking brake/ emergency brake cables figured out...I am running a 1985 Chevy K5 Blazer rear end in this truck. I am also trying to keep the truck as close to stock as I can with the exception of all the junk under the frame rails...so modern rear end and new disc brakes on the front...So I cobble up this bracket to join the old to the new....I used the 1952/53 brackets and what was left of the fine threaded rod from that era...



I had to buy 2 short e-brake cables from Rock Auto that fit I believe the right side of the Blazer rear...a Sunday after noon spent cuttin/welding and grinding we have this...hope it works out...

Cant wait to get this thing rolling again...

Kinda thinking about selling it when I get it running again...sorta bored with it right now...

Any takers?
