Grigg,
I'm working on a fairly nice 1950 GMC 250 with 9' Pickup Bed.
This has been a very interesting thread as I rebuilt the Huck brakes on it a couple of years ago and would certainly prefer a less maintenance intensive alternative.
Once I find my H052 housing, which "14 bolt from 73-2006 brake system" is preferable? And is that assuming the donor is a 73-06 3/4 or 1 T truck?
I'll do a search for the front end improvements, including brakes, knowing that's a whole different can of worms...
