Nevin,

I too have a Ford 9" in my 1949 1/2 ton.  I basically followed the same
guidance regarding pinion angle as per the website in the other response.  I
never did figure out a good way to work out attaching the emergency brakes
though.  If you come up with a solution, please let me know.  Just curious,
are you using a stock rearend?  or was it modified as mine was (narrowed to
stock GM width and redrilled for six lug)?

Let me know if I can answer any questions.

Rob
