Thanks allis327, my pleasure.
Thanks shillinghill600, I appreciate you reply.
Thanks McLe The shade of blue was quite soothing to the eye
Only lost the tarp once, high wind but luckily no rain.

Spent a little more time on the brakes so I could get this thing rolling again. With the aid of my 1976 Truck Shop Manual I was able to ID the front brakes as Wagner, dual cylinder, single piston, 15” x 3” drum brakes. And, with a photo copy of the parts diagram, Napa Walt was able to track down all the necessary replacement parts.
Bought 4 of these front brake hoses (part # 38320);
Hose UP 38320 | NAPA Auto Parts
Painted the brake backing plates and installed 2 new drivers side wheel cylinders (part # 37033 );
Wheel Cylinder UP 37033 | NAPA Auto Parts
and 2 new passenger side wheel cylinders (part # 37034);
Wheel Cylinder UP 37034 | NAPA Auto Parts
New shoes (part # ? );
and spring kits (part # 2317);
Hardware Kit UP 2317 | NAPA Auto Parts
and two new front brake drums (part # 120705);
BRAKE DRUM TWD 2850 | NAPA Auto Parts
and seals (part # 28830);

So, remember I said that I drilled some holes in the roof for future reference? Well….
I installed my cab marker lights (part #20-225);
http://www.jcwhitney.com/pacer-light...8&&filterid=u0
A rotating beacon (part # FD1A);
Federal Signal Corporation Traditional Style Rotator Beacon- Amber Lens | AW Direct
And a couple air horns (part #ACHRSK-650x2);
Pair of BIG RIG Semi Truck Air Horns 152db Single Rectangle 24 in
I installed the fiberglass hood scoop (part # 901-5004) that I got from JC Whitney. Can’t seem to find it on their site now.
Painted the hood and installed my decals. Did a mock up with the fenders and grill from my parts truck.
By this time it was mid November, 2010 and I had completely run out of decent weather so I pushed the truck into the shelter for the winter.

The winter doldrums
Well, I think you can all guess what came next…
Yup. Painless Performance Universal wiring harness (part # PRF-10202)
Painless Performance 28-Circuit Universal Harnesses 10202 - Free Shipping on Orders Over $99 at Summit Racing
This was a great project to be working on in the shelter during the long New England winter! With limited heat and poor lighting you can bet I got a lot done.

Hi, do you know the bore diameter of the master cylinder of what you installed?
I called Napa no details avail, thanks.
PS, I like the hood scoop it will make the hauling that much faster
