Once the last time I posted I've gotten quite a bit done. New front eight lug disk brakes, engine has been mounted, Dana 60 out of a '87 f350 put in the rear... That's all I can think of for now. Pictures here:

What is are the front brakes off of?? I have a 54 F350 that I want to convert to power disc, but I can't find anyone who offers a conversion kit for it.

You can also find quite a few reviews and threads about this kit on this forum by using the search function

Great work on your truck! this looks very similar to what my build plans are! Did these trucks come stock with fan shrouds like that? I'm just wondering because my truck (54 F250) didn't come with one, but is not missing almost any parts, and my parts truck doesn't have one either, but is missing quite a bit, so not surprising there. I could look for it around the PO's yard, (he's family,) as most of the missing parts have been around the yard or in the granary.

The fan shroud is original.
