Hi to all,

I have read all the message's about the master brake cylinder and i have a
question about it, wat's wrong with buying a new original mater brake
cylinder that fits right in place.
LMC Truck sell's this peace for $ 119.95 and Chevy Duty for $ 74.95
The Master cylinder adapter kit for use with a 1973 - 77 mid-size GM dual
cylinder from Chevy Duty will cost you $ 69.95 and you have to buy the
master cylinder for it.
I'm still driving my truck with the original one and if there is a greater
benefit from this I will like to hear it.

This upcoming weekend there will be a large car show in Antwerp ( Belgium )
that is nearby the place I live, it's called the "All America Power on
Wheel's show" and you are free to enter only if you arrive in a American
car,
last year there where 1500 great looking American cars so I decided to visit
this show with my '58 3100 Stepside, it has two advantage's for this show,
1 - it's all american
2 - it has that All America Power thanks to the V8 454 thats in it.
I planning to take a lot of photo's from it and put them on my homepage next
week, so that you guy's can see how much pleasure we folks in Europe can
have with that great cars from America.

Also I have put two Desktop Wallpapers for Windows 95/98 on my homepage for
those who loved to see all different type's off AD trucks or TF trucks, you
can find them in the Image Gallery for the years you like, they are aprox
300 Kb to download but I think you will like them.
Just click on the link and when the Image is on the screen click your right
mouse button and take the option "set as Wallpaper".
Hope you will like them.
