[b]Actually, from what I can see in the pic, the front isn't a Rockwell and is running the brakes at the wheels. the rear does not have the drums at the wheels, it is runningg the pinion brake as its brake. We have two rigs at the shop running this set up. Works great. Uses the gearing to stop the wheels. We have a 1972 BUG sitting on Rockwells with a Big Block Ford under the hood. We run non power brakes to the pinion front and rear. It works like a champ. This is a rockcrawlin rig that hits the trails VERY hard, and works great.!!!

you better look closer the front is a rockwell running disc brakes at the wheels, and the rear also has disc brakes at the wheels but it has the pinion brake also it is cable operated not hydraulic look closley at the pic of the rear to the left of the pinion brake you can see the hydraulic brake lines tee off. It might be hard to tell from the pictures though, I have been around that truck since they started building it. I made the brackets that hold the rear pinion brake. the rotor meant for a 78 toranado with some extra machining and the caliper is off a caddy.
it never sold, the reserve wasn't met. Guarandamntee it's more than 25,000. Doubt he's let it go for less than 35,000 by looking at it. But I agree with frost, I WANT IT!!! Forget the girls, I'd almost go for a guy with that truck!!! Yeah, I don't think so. I'd give up my Super Duty for it, with it's 33's, and steel wheels, manual door locks and windows...
