    Thanks for the reply, but those brakes look very different from the various ford rearend n brakes I've had before. 3/4T? Drum n hub are not familiar. Just very curious as to what they were out of, but they look good. TIA.

    I believe that those are full-size p***enger car drums. I think I have a pair on the shelf, somewhere.

    They are shown in the pictures with a spacer.

    Still not sure where I got the pair that I have. I have the backing plates, too, complete.

    I'd blame old age, but I'm 50.

    That's wild! The dash needs some character now, it's kinda plain. Speedway and eBay have engine turned sheet aluminum you could laminate over the current surface.
    Those front turn signal lights will work, just cant them to follow the centerline of the shock brackets. Point the tops toward the center of the headlights.
    You are taking this average looking T bucket in a very interesting direction. Very cool.

    Superb! You sure have an eye for this. And whatever vitamins you take, I need them.

    It would look great if you get quad headlights like the ones on Tuck's Model A roadster but they may be hard to find.
