I am getting a ton done on the truck, its just that everything needs work. Really underestimated how much it needed! It will be nice when done though!
For what its worth, Randy at Blackbird customs says he installs the his conversion kits and retains the stock proportioning valve and says he's not had any complaints. I decided to get mine from inline tube anyway but it cost about $80..

I know the feeling on how slow things move, i'm trying to detail everything as i go plus fighting the weather too.. Did ya put a milk crate in there for a seat?
