Edleman was at one time a good product. Don't know much about them anymore. Duralast and AC/Delco will all be Chinese hoses. If you can find Wagner or Raybestoes you will have US or Canada made usually.
I took my grille shell apart to repaint the honeycomb grille. Wow. That is harder to paint than you realize. All the freaking holes to make sure you have painted, both front and back. Glad I got the big can of Satin Black this time. LOL. The bumper came from the same guy who I got the bed liner from. I couldn't believe it was him until he gave me directions. We got a good laugh out of it and I got my bumper. It is flawless, but this one has a white cover top. Easy enough to paint when I do the header. Came with perfect fog lights also in the valance. Valance is clean also. I'm happy with the find. Much cleaner than the red-topped one I found for 70. I got this perfect one for 80. I'm good with that.

I'd use the Gates hoses for the slave cyl. 367870 and 367770. Return 366910 hose and Pressure to pump as 366820 or 366920 ( after 80,000 vin). These match to my Ford catalog I have for my buddy's 73-79s. I verified to RA to make sure. The Gates hoses are what I would use.

Whitey......you guys are getting the stuff that just missed Anchorage but got Prince William Sound and got it good. I posted last week that this was coming to a State near you. LOL. Looks like it got you, not bypassed. Sorry, but you guys were warned. The cold is right behind this snow. I hope you miss the freeze that follows this one.

This cold high pressure has been sitting on the top of the state for the past 2 weeks. When this bad boy starts moving it will be a real bear. Glad to see you only down to 12 one day. Fairbanks/North Pole has been -25 or better for almost a month straight. SOB is just sitting there and won't move. Glad it will be moving out by the time I go to NP for Valentines Day. I damn well guarantee you she will have a honey-do list when I get there too. LOL. There is always a cost.
