Odd_Bolt Wrench Fetcher O Joined: Jul 2009 Posts: 21 Fullerton Ca.	Hello fellow bolters! I have a 59' Apache and it is mostly original and I was wondering if keeping (and rebuilding) the original style brakes would be worth the extra long stop. I want the truck to ride original but is this a bad idea? Yes this is my truck, No I wont help you move
