The Iron Trap shop truck project steers and has all kinds of fun new parts in it, but it doesn’t have any way of stopping right now so this video is going to show how to put some simple juice brakes on it.
The more I watch Iron Trap videos the more I want to build a 1920-1940 hot rod. They seem so simple and bare-bones if you want them to be and that means that you can put one together pretty quickly if you have the right parts and pieces laying around. Since the Iron Trap gang does, this cool shop truck project should be pretty simple and straightforward for them to get up and running. It’s especially nice since it is going to be a shop truck and not something that has to be super clean and finished when done.
That doesn’t mean it won’t be cool though! Check out video one of this project. There is more to come and you’ll dig it.

Video Description:
In the last few videos, Matt got the engine installed, and the steering sorted. Next on the list is to install a hydraulic brake system. One of the large obstacles when installing hydraulic or “juice” brakes in a Model A frame is having a location to mount the pedals. Originally the pedals mounted to the transmission of the stock transmission, and the later v8 cars had pedals mounted to the frame. There are a few different ways to add the hydraulic brakes, but today we are going to be using Old Yankee Speeds bolt in kit. The kit includes all the brackets to mount the pedals to the transmission similar to a stock Model A. Matt and Steve knocked out this install in no time and the Roadster Pickup Shop Truck is on its way to being road worthy this summer!!
