I reccomend going with the bendix brakes and the advantage being you can install the self adjuster from a mid sixties truck.here the DFW area the Huck brakes have to be adjusted so regulary it really becomes a nusiance. I also worked for an old time machine shop in the late sixties and they were into covering 216"s to insert- rods.I don't remember the details but I put one in a 41 chevy I had and a local guy still has it and drives it on occasion. I have never heard mention of this in recent years but it would seem to be something someone else here on the board would know about. Paul
