If you guys have any questions that are still in answers ask away. My old swap has worked great for a long time!

Mike,
Thanx for the reply.
I'm giving some thought to making my own bracket to mount the cobra rear brakes. When you fabricated the bracket on that F150 axle what thickness of steel plate did you use? I'm thinking 3/8".
Not trying to over simplify, but I be thinking that as long as I get steel strong enough, thick enough and have the holes in the right places, I would be good to go.
