I haven't done it, but there's alot of talk about it over on FSB...here's some of the more popular processes:

There are a few other variations...but it seems like most guys go one of those two routes.

Thanks Ben...I've been looking at a James Duff conversion kit with parking brake....I've been giving it some thought as I'm sure that truck is gonna go pretty good with that 434 and stopping it has crossed my mind.

No worries Duncan, alot of the guys say that they only pay $150-200 when they piece together the parts, as opposed to $600+ for a kit, and they say it works just as well. I sent you a PM, cuz I didn't wanna link to another site.


Edit...just saw you got me back.

I've also heard that too. It would be a nice upgrade. I have that on my list of upgrades only for the D60 rear.
