PROJECT: How would a Chevrolet dealer build a shop truck in the early 1970s?

Starting to push again and get a few things done. Unfortunately, brake parts vendors are sending wrong parts.

1) It looks like I got the wrong stainless line set from TheRightStuff. Supposed to get 7 pieces. Got 6. Only 2 of those work for sure, but 1 more might work. Working with them to get "the right stuff." ;-)

2) Ordered a prop valve from Inline Tube. I think that one is actually right (but we'll see).

3) Ordered bracket that holds prop valve to the master cylinder from Inline Tube. I ordered BRK08 which shows to be the right thing. Nicely gold/cad plated. UNFORTUNATELY, they double-booked that part number. And they sent me the wrong BRK08, but, hey, at least they charged me for the more expensive right one.

Murphy's Law strikes again, but we'll get through this.

EDIT: It turns out four of the tubes (of the required seven) from RightStuff.Com were correct. As soon as they send the three replacements, the tubes will all be good to go.

Just found this thread. You are doing a very good job. I built mine with the same mindset as you, something the factory could have built within the 67-72 range. The dropped spindles didn't exist but almost everything else I used did. I kept the aftermarket stuff to a bare minimum, used mostly OEM or NOS.
Good luck with your build.

Cool truck! And thanks for the kind words.
