i was wondering if anyone could post some pictures of their brake system on their mid to late 20's chryslers. I have all new copper lines and flex hoses installed, just having a hard time figuring out what/where/how the actual pedal/master cylinder which has two threaded outlets (top and drivers side) connect to the T fitting on the crossmember under the cab. Im guessing it has to have some sort of brake fluid reservoir. Ill post some pics of what I'm talking about. any help would be appreciated, thanks, Chad

that first picture explains it all, thanks a million. can you show a picture of your carb set up? i am building this truck and have everything i need and more in boxes with about 100 kodak pictures, only thing is the guy took it apart in 1982 and is no longer around. I'm more of a body guy then a mechanic. Would you mind if time to time i asked you to send me some pictures for my assembly process??

DOT 4 is common on motorcycles as they can generate a lot more heat in braking. Some DOT 4 brands claim to be less hydorscopic. Of course it costs more than DOT 3, especially if you get it at a motorcycle shop.
