I don't know if they work. I never had them hooked up. I'll take a look and let you know. I work down in the city(Tues-Thurs) so if you want them maybe you can pick them up.

When I started there wasn't one. The only part that I have is the stock handle on my 54. What have people done to replace or make an emergency braking system?? I know there are some aftermarket stuff but unless it's the same price or cheaper I see no reason not to use what is the most common? I have a nine inch ford rear end with disk brakes but I don't know what year the rear end is. Any thoughts??

It is possible that you have a hydraulic problem in your front disc setup and the proportioning valve switches to rear only. Pumping the brakes sets it right again. Normally there is a light to tell you when this occurs. You should hook up a light to your proportioning valve and see if it comes on when you are having trouble.

If you are looking for a rig for pulling a trailer, this is it. It's not mine, just a very cool Ford CrewCab that needs to go to a good home. Go to: http://www.ford-trucks.com//lc/lc.php?action=do&link=http://www.ncwebsurfer.com/carver/ Jeff '64 F100 CrewCab ------------------------------ From: "Carver" Subject: Restore Shop Sacramento Area Date: Tue, 21 Mar 2000 22:01:37 -0800 I'm pursuing the idea of having my CrewCab restored. At the same time I am planning on spending MY time restoring another (non-Ford, sorry) vehicle with my son. He's more interested in the 'other' vehicle. Anyone have any recommendations or places to avoid in the Sacramento area? I live in Grass Valley, so anything within a 100 miles or so would be acceptable. By the time I take enough stuff off to 'fix' a few items. I'm close enough to a shell to go all the way. This truck is unique enough to treat to a restore. I'm not looking to have it done immediately, but I need to do my homework on shops before I start driving around and getting estimates. Recommendations of sequencing of stuff like, engine, body, interior, electrical, would be appreciated. Eventually a wish list will be generated and be foisted upon you all!

Date: Wed, 22 Mar 2000 06:38:53 -0800 Dan, Yes I do have a dual master cylinder and I didn't have a problem until I put this one on. Thanks for the help. I'll check it out.
