Thanks everyone for the replys, I do have a totally original truck with torque tube and 390 rear gears. Just for the heck of it I called Randys ring and pinion service today to see if they had and suggestions also and the guy (was really nice ) but said they stopped at 1955, he wasn't sure why but I surmized it must be because thats when they went to an open drive line I think. The torque tube must really limit the possibilities. Maybe next spring when I start the frame up I will go ahead and take out the original trany and rearend and save them in the back of the shop, and go ahead and go with something more modern as I want this to be my daily driver from now on. My brakes are fine for now but eventually I think I will put power front discs on it just for safety's sake cause nobody round here knows what a 45, or 55 mph speed limit sigh even means anymore. But since Im not a tailgater and never have been I don't have any problems now with the original brakes. Thanks again for the replys...
