It's...not flat around here, especially if you want to leave the Yukon. (The Alaska Highway down to BC is the definition of mountain road).
What would it take to upgrade the brakes on one? Is it possible just to put bigger brakes on it? As a note, I'm not above going so far as to replace the axels on it to fit bigger brakes.
Also, CSB = Chevy Small Block engine.

Lots of headaches to follow as one modification leads to another and so on...
If you find one that is reasonably complete, keep it that way. Trust me.
Thanks, David
