Very cool...wondered if you'd jump in.

Beginning to think you may have had another vintage Ford brake mishap. :lol:

kingplinker,

I think those are metal conduit clamps I got at the hardware store. They come with a rubber peice on the strap, I took that off and they fit perfectly on the 1" tubes of the frame. The signboard is a reproduction made by a guy in california. I also use a smaller version of those for the coaster brake strap, but with the rubber on it so it doesn't mar the powdercoat jobs.

cooper cool cycle truck but i am going a different direction with mine. think finding a mack truck and trying to turn it into a hot rod if that helps any. my frame is also an earlier one than yours with the additional tube towards the front. a few local schwinn guys found out about what i was up to somehow (i guess word travels fast in the sacramento vintage bike community and this bike has got them pissed lol. guess the idea of taking an original paint very early cycle truck and ratting it is a bad thing? i have a bunch of pics that i will be leaking out slowly but i will say that it is a rider now just so i could figure out if it would even work right before doing all of the other stuff to it i have planned. i will say that this is my most detailed project everything on it is custom or modded and i am trying some things on it style wise i have never seen done before. sorry i have not been around more comp problems have limmited access but i hope to get the first pics of it up either tonight or tomorrow.
