The brake assembly looks to be in the right place to me and same as my 48 truck was. I had an issue with the transmission mount wanting to be in the same place as the master cylinder that hopefully you won't run into.

Good luck as you and I continue to vie for third place in the Iceburgh, Youngrodder, Advanced Design Burb build off...
Good to hear that the brakes look right.

Yes, I hear you about yard work. I did that the weekend before. I still need to open the pool in a few weeks which will waste a weekend. Oh and I'm soooo confident that I will have 3rd place locked up that I've ordered myself a trophy.

Last year I missed the first couple of shows because I had the 48 torn down replacing a leaking freeze plug. This year the truck just needs a good cleaning. Looking forward to driving it. I think the Burb will handle, drive and steer better than the truck.
