  1. Thank you all for your replys. I had to run a strip of angle iron The length of the bed to lower It an the angle iron rests on the cross members . The low sides Have a 90° bend on the bottom an wont sit on the members. An the side skirts bolt to the 90° lip. The high side skirt are part of the bed . Again thank you all for the response!
  2. I have a 1953 B4B 1/2 ton . When I bought the truck the Bed was 1/2" steel an 3" C channel for cross members all Welded as one piece to the frame. The bed is a low side Im putting it back stock an my Problem is if I set the bed on the cross members my wood would have to be 3" thick no good. If I put the cross members inside well the wood fits great but now there is no place to attach the bedsides . Any help the high side bed is Different from the low sides.
  3. I have a 53 pilothouse an hacked off a 1/2" steel plate as A bed floor an 4" C channel for crossmembers lightened by 500lbs. My problem is I have the replacement crossmember To fit but not sure how thay install . There is 4 members plus the tailgate member. Has anybody got a pic or drawing of the proper instolation ? Its a low side bed HELP !
  4. Sure the brakes are fine to much pressure from master keep it so the calipers wont releases. Fine kit couldent be happier just the dummy that installed it that be me didnt give it a thought.
  5. I'm running the stock master I can see the point for the 2 psi Residual Valve I think it's something like 8 to 10 for drum and 2 to 3 for disk from what I have read. Going to try 1 Residual valve for each disk .....will see an thanks to everybody for the help I will post the out come tommrow hope !
  6. I have the residual valves on order 2psi I adjusted the brakes in the rear . I'm going to give that a try should work fine . Thanks for the post. All good advice to experiment with again thanks all
  7. I did contact them an it's a separate part. He just wrote back an said it also needs in each front line a 2 PSI Residual Valve it makes sense because the rear take 8 to 10 lb an disk take 3 to 5 . I was told the proportion valve is to direct most pressure to rear drums an residual holds a 2 psi for the front an will hold back pressure for the calapers. I will try a 2psi residual on each disk line . Thanks for reply all locked up here !
  8. Converted my front brakes to the DCM disk conversion kit. I needed a brake Proportioning Valve to evenly distribute the fluid because the disks lock up. My question is where does it go there is an In & Out does the Proportioning Valve go on the out of the master cylinder or do I need one for each disk brake ? One thing I'm not is a Proportioning Valve wizard any help?
