Thanks Brian. same to you.
Bad teen issues. that is probably worse than baby sitting my wife. Much worse Robin feels much better she just has to learn that it will take time for her body to catch up with how she feels.

Yeah our minds remember how easy it was to do things, but we don't listen to our "older" bodies and what they are saying.

Oh well at least the heavy stuff is done.
Wow, that just sucks Mark! Best wishes to both your wife and yourself. Just don't forget that if momma ain't happy ain't nobody happy - try nor to "mother" her too much, women are stubborn that way.

Cheers!

Well I finally got around to ordering my hose and fittings for my hydroboost/RR steering
I picked up a new master cylinder for a 1994 K3500 a couple weeks ago. I need to get a 19/16-18tube nut and some tubing this weekend.
This should be enough parts to plumb down and across the front axle.

Please post up a list of part #'s when you get it all sorted out. Will need that when I get to my RR steer set-up...

Glad to hear that your wife is doing better! I'm with TC about the RR conversion part numbers. I really appreciate you doing the research on it.
Well...I'm off to play in the snow!

today I bent up a brake line that goes from the master cylinder to the balance valve. I could have done just one but that wouldn't have looked right. So I did the rear today. I needed a 9/16-18 tube nut for the front outlet on my swapped in Chevy master cylinder. The Dodge one was 9/16-20 Oh Really's had to order the right one. should be in tomorrow. I also worked on a little of the plumbing for the HB.

I'll take some tomorrow. I got behind on my Monday routine and didn't get around to taking any. I haven't bolted anything up yet because I want th use an old balance valve in a vice to make the front line follow the shape of the rear easier.(The earlier trucks have the balance valve in the frame)
