Good videos, I would like to get one of the kits, when and how would I find one at a sale price?

They mention sometimes they are on sale
Always looking for what interests me, anything early Dodge Brothers/Graham Brothers trucks ( pre 1932 or so ) and slant six / Super six parts.

I didn’t notice that part, my guess is to go to swag offroad and contact them and ask if they have specials.

He may have been referring to the HF press, they go on sale all the time.

Not only does the HF press go on sale --- you could easily build the brake at home out of a variety of scrap materials. Just Sayin' LOL

Yes your right but unless you just happen to have the materials laying around or had some special account with a supplier that offered you big discounts any average Joe like myself would be into it for alot more than the 150.00 asking price especially when the time is considered to gather all of that together.
