I converted my '48 Huck brakes to Bendix style (from a '54 like yours) a
couple of years back. I used a Nova dual MC and a Pickups Northwest bracket
in the stock location. I re-plumbed the truck with all new lines and hoses.
Wheel cylinders were rebuilt, and new shoes added to turned drums. In other
words, everything was new or rebuilt. The brakes work great. They stop
straight and true, better than the brakes on my '65 daily driver.
