Thanks

I put under the floor master-cylinder in my 1953 Howard Knapp truck....I have a ton pictures on my photo bucket page...I would go with one that mounts to the firewall..they are a pain to bleed them with the master cylinder under the floor...I had to cob up a door in the floor pan so I could bleed them...CPP has a decent bolt in kit...they don't stock much tho...be prepared for a 3 or 4 week wait time for it to arrive...

Yes I picked up vacuum from the intake manifold...

New vintiques steel wheels will clear the calipers...they are 15" that I used...

I hope this helps you out...

Mike
