This build won't be pretty. I bought it to use it as a truck. So there won't be many bells and whistles. It came with a "rebuilt" 223 and new clutch & pressure plate but it was missing hoses belts and radiator. So that was 1st priority. Now that that's all fixed I see someone has cut ALL the brake lines so I suppose brakes come next.
Are the Front brake drums readily available? I see them for 2 wheel drives but haven't located any for 4 X 4s.

I'd appreciate the info, Not opposed to converting to disc brakes. What master cylinder are you using?

Bought from this place on ebay. Great comunication and easy to deal with.
I contacted Summit Racing told them my setup and they recommend master cylinder. Worked out well.

I was able to source all the stock brake hardware for mine through my local NAPA. Rockauto might also have it.

Yeap, the brackets are what's holding the bed up. So I guess I'll be drilling out the rivets and removing the brackets.
