[StingRay]

I have a 69 and I can say that once you have it running start looking for a brake upgrade. When I haul heavy with mine I find the brakes are pretty lacking. It has a stock dual diaphragm brake booster. I have a complete set up waiting to go in from an 89. Let me tell you these old trucks will haul. I recently hauled half a dozen loads of gravel. I watched the suspension to see how much travel was left and figured that should be good. It was 13000 pounds gross! That's 3K over GVW. I have a 3.73 in a 14 bolt and with the SM465 it pulled like a freight train and the suspension handled it beautifully. At that weight the brakes definitely felt a little underwhelming. Even at 10K they do not impress.
