I'd like to see a close-up of those brake shoes.. At first appearance, it seems you have the shoes installed in reversed position.. The shoe with the short lining goes on the front..

Looks good- very nice attention to detail- will be a great truck when you’re done

Well crap.. I added a new virus program to my computer that's full of errors and now it's doing crazy things like double posting and not posting what I typed.. Moderator, you have my permission to delete any of my duplicate posts especially the [DELETED] post..
