Come to think of it, the brakes are '52 and '55 with '69 Chevy hardware (self
adjusting). Been so long since I did that I plumb forgot myself. Other than
that, I'm just taking it slow and easy. With 4:11 gears there ain't much other
way, but keeping it down to about 35 or less and staying the hell out of
towns....if it can be done, I can do it, but, yse, it would be so easy at this
point to say "$1.50 a loaded mile to who can haul it over here"
