Re: Project "49 No Buck$"

Brake stuff! I love wrecking yards and being able to do the "junkyard crawl"! It's amazing what you can find when you walk around with a game plan and just look for stuff. I needed to move my rear brake housing mount over after the way I did the exhaust put it in the way. I looked under different trucks trying to find a frame mount for the rear line that was a bolt on bracket and grabbed one from a late 90's Ford f250 ( I know, I'm ashamed!) Perfect! On the rearend itself, I took the factory bracket that bolts to the rear cover, chopped off the bottom 2" and welded it to an "L" bracket I made out of some 1/8" steel. I used the u-bolt to hold it in place. I used a 2002 S-10 Blazer rear brake flexible line to go from the frame to the rearend. The fuel line I bent out of 3 pieces of 60"x3/8" tubing I got at NAPA, took my time and bent it up to make it as clean as I could. Anybody with a cheap $10 bender and a little patience can do this, plus it looks nice when it's finished.
