Thanks for all the positive comments everyone.
As far as the e-brake band being painted... Darn right!! LOL even though I won't drive this truck in the salt and snow, it is a harsh climate here. Everything will be protected as best I can from the elements. The parking brake drum is powder-coated!
As far as the oil filter swing. Yeah that is a nice feature. That was installed before I got the truck. I plan on putting a remote oil filter onto that. The ram horns exhaust I put on might be a bit close to the filter. I'll make the final determination on that down the road.
I would google 1957 lincoln spin on oil filter, as that was the first year they offered a spin on. Then when you find the part number for that, look for one on evil bay or something. They are all lincoln y blocks so they should fit. However that being said I'm not an expert.... ask around somebody has to know for sure.
I'm guessing being Ford, you could probably get one from summit racing or something....
