Hey Chuck, Thanks for the compliment. My response was based on my seeing the Saginaw 4 speed that was on the 1960 engine that I recently bought. It can be seen(just barely) on page 11 of my Webshots. Maybe somebody will chime in with some more specific info.

When you split your existing system you're going to have to fabricate some new lines....I'm not aware of any that are preformed for such a conversion. The drum/drum master his internal residual valves so if you do encounter any fitment problems you can just form your lines to hook up. When you go to remove the original lines from the brass union on the frame there is a good chance that they will be damaged and you'll wind up having to fabricate new lines anyways. A coil of 3/16" brakeline and a double flare tool are a good investment. When you do the discs it will be absolutely necessary. And double flares are not rocket science.

Your absolutely right about the drivers down here...especially with the snowbirds and their big rigs. You're fortunate to have some rural space left to enjoy your truck.
