Personally, I've decided to try to stay with the stock system until I either must have something better, or something better that is a bolt-in and free comes along. I do not have, and don't think I ever will have, the capabilities that Grigg has. I wish he would go into business making parts and doing conversions for the rest of us, but he seems to enjoy building things like that Diesel powered 1948 way too much.

I'd love to have a two circuit system, and may even go that way if I can find a master cylinder with enough capacity. In the mean time, I am going to make sure that my emergency brakes are always in perfect condition.

Scott, thanks for the contact info on Sadler Power Train. That sounds like the kind of place that needs a place in my Rolodex. Especially since I have two Hydro-Vac units that I don't trust right now, even though the trucks they are in don't run yet. ;}
