Hi Keith! Nice to hear from you. Got any updated pics? I think this one was brought over from NPCA.

Yes same picture. I did a copy & paste. I've been working on the Patrol today. Started a power brake conversion about 7 years ago & i finally finished the install part today. I bled the master, but still need to bleed the wheel cylinders. I gave the bleeders a good shot of PB Blaster. I'll do that a few times over the next few days then I'll try to break them loose not break them off. I used a small Datsun booster & a Wilwood master. It is basically a bolt in fit other than a few fabrications on the mount tube & rod to the pedal. I think It could easily be made into a kit. I have pictures of the build on my old computer if i can figure out how to get them off of it. Glad to see an active site, I"ve got a lot of catching up to do.

We'd love to see the project pics for your power brakes. There are lots of ways to get pics off an old PC: write them to CD/DVD; save them to a USB flash drive; copy them to your new PC over your home network, etc. We are gluttons for pics here.

Okay, I just noticed this and I believe this called for a bit of acknowledgement. You included in your signature the information that I was suspecting but wasn't sure of so I didn't make any noise about it. But, Keith is the infamous Keith of Danette & Keith from years ago when Patrol information on the Internet was just being gathered and organized. The US Patrol Registry was Keith's baby, and it is only because of his diligence that I even had the basis of the Registry to start with. I remember the great story about you driving your Patrol home from California; it would be great if you could re-post that story here.

Let's all give a big round of applause to the return of one of our US Patrol pioneers and founding father!

As Goofy would say "Garsh it wern't nothing". You are too kind. I'm so glad u archived the NPCA site. Kudos for that. As they say life got in the way of my hobbies & i dropped out of the Patrol scene. I've missed the Patrol bug & the people. You know the Patrol bug is like a virus it can go dormant but it never leaves your blood. I'll try to tell my story on how we became Patrol owners again soon. Hope to get some photos in the gallery too. I'll have to post photos of my hobby farm critters that have basically been the reason for dropping off the radar. Great site you have going here.
Sleepyzzz we will have to get together soon. I bought a 1962 John Deere tractor in Yellville so i'll be headed that way soon to pick it up. I was going to tmrw but looks like the weather may not be good. Also I gotta find a trailer big enough to hual a 7k lb tractor. Waiting on a call back from a friend.

We wanted to try and pick up where NPCA left off. That site always seemed to have a positive influence. We've had a a few other old NPCA members stop by; Grant and Pfohl that I can think of. You're right about the bug, we have a few that have left then and come back. Others seem to take a break for a while then get active again. It's nice to see you back, I hope you decide to hang around for a while.
