Just a little update finally got the brakes straighten out I believe they feel better but didn't get on it hard but felt better. I pull it on the scales yesterday but they have blacked out the windows and changed scale read out but I think it said 2980.I had some stuff in the passage side I had my timing light, some tools, set of deep well mag wheel sockets, and 2 beech towels I would say about 10lb worth. So I have managed to loss about 200lbs off the truck and added a good 200hp to it . If nothing happen in 2 weeks I will be trying it out to see how it will run.

Thanks Lee I have been working and trying to get it to stop for sure. I had the same master cylinder that I have on my 69F100 it would stop with it but I had to push on the paddle so hard it would hurt my back pressing against the seat, So I bought the Ranger master cylinder everybody are running but it wouldn't stop with it I think it might have been defective or something. So I bought a Mopar for a 1984 D150 truck after reading they are bunch of people running them looks just like the strange master cylinder they sale it has all the same specs. The brakes are not as hard to smash now and feel a lot better. I finally bought a fire suite and shoes I have been borrowing Rick's Jacket when I would go but if we are both there it will be hard to borrow it. I was looking at my slicks last weekend not to sure how they going to hook they are getting some age on them. I have put about 35 to 40 passes on them plus what ever Jon put on them when he had them I know they are at least 3 years old I have had them that long.

Well the trans did not like the new 552 it back in the trailer until the pg get built for it but no time soon looks like it might be another 1 pass season. Unless I decide and rebuild the c6 it is the cheaper route as I have the convertor for it and don't have to spend $800 on a new convertor. Not sure what I want to do right now going to give it a few weeks before deciding.

Jon you do have a point I might freshen the c6 but still going to think about for another day or two I mostly will depend on what it will cost on the c6.If it going to cost me 5 or 600 than I going to just put that in the pg and build it later on.I don't think it hurt the convertor as the fluid is still red it don't smell burnt but don't smell right ether another run I believe it would have messed it up and burnt the fluid up.The trans was hot when I got back to the trailer and didn't want to pull so I let it sit and cool and it pulled up on the trailer.When I got home and unloaded it to  put back in the enclosed trailer I hit it in the yard and it didn't even spin the tires in the yard on grass. I got to get my wench installed in my trailer so I can pull the truck out and drop the pan and see what is in the pan an see if I can see what wrong and be able wench it back in.

I dropped the pg off at Cook Transmission Friday in Cowpen SC to be built with a pro brake in it should be picking it up in 2 weeks. If you need a trans built give Cook a call you want beat his price.

I got the converter on the way but it looking like next years before I know what kind of HP the 552 making. I am going to go ahead and do the frontend swap while I have it apart this time been putting that part off long enough. The frontend will be set up like Doug done on the Yellow Banana with the struts.

It is 25* here right now and calling for low 20s tonight I know that not cold for the northern and western folks but it is cold for here. Just seen they are calling for the teens by Tuesday. I went out this morning to work on it but the metal had ice all over it from the rain wed. I move a few peaces getting ready to cut some more , I couldn't feel my fingers with in a few mins. and thought about and just said the heck with this and went back inside.

When mother nature has let me I have managed to get it close to being finished still got to get the doors built put the metal around the bottom but that will be after I get the floor poured. I got the lights hung today and temp wired in until I get the floor poured and the counter put in and things set like I want then I will finish wiring it. Hope to have the doors and floor poured buy the end of the month. I need to get that part done so I get the Ranger in it and get started back on it get the trans changed out and the front end.
