Hi All,
I made my first try at cutting, bending and welding up a clutch master cylinder bracket yesterday. I will tweak the file and cut a final version today on my cnc plasma table. Looks pretty good. I don;t need one right now, but I told a good friend on here I would give it a shot.

Thanks.
I've seen accident pictures that show what happens when something is catapulted forwards in an accident. At least now, those frozen bags "should" hold themselves in place. The cages are held tight below the bed rails, and in order for them to fly up, the bed rails would have to distort. If that happens, I might as well just kiss my rumpus goodnight.

That looks really close to the original. I bet you could sell the "New" brackets for around $50?

I see a 2nd gen truck in Harrisburg PA now and then that has what appear to be actual 5 chime locomotive air horns in the bed mounted on a toolbox looking thing. Takes up a lot of bed space but, boyo, you should hear it echo off the buildings downtown 
. Makes people on the sidewalks jump! Also pretty good for drowning out thunder bunnies.

Some mentally challenged lowlife was walking IN the road (55 mph back country road) facing the same way I was driving today, almost daring someone to hit him. I gave him plenty of space and laid on the horns. I looked in my rearview mirror and got a pretty decent complement, a one finger salute… made my day.
I dig them horns.

Not today but yesterday. I got to meet PapeCAT. He stopped by on a test drive after some repairs. We chatted about first gens for a couple hours. It was really nice to talk with someone that knows these trucks so well.
