[CSHADES]

worked on the rear cab bracing. i rebuilt the floor to cab brace by making new ends for them. i painted all of the bracing and the cab rear panel on the inside with por15 to hopefully slow/kill the rust from returning. i got the battery box that is going under the left front fender tacked together. the last picture is the mount bracket for the parking brake actuator. i was going to use a the old tried and true hand brake lever but could not figure out a place to mount it that wasnt going to interfere with something around it. i decided a ESTOPP parking brake setup was probably going to be the best solution in this case. If you havent heard of them it is a self contained parking brake actuator that mounts pretty much anywhere on the frame and just has a button and a small module to mount inside the truck cab.
