I saw that show too. And I got all excited about that setup until the
host told us viewers that in order to make those disc brakes on the
ends of your Rockwell axle work, you had to run the master cylinder
from a 1 ton Chevy truck... a vacuum boost unit.. to get sufficient
line pressure.

Now where exactly are we M35 multifuel operators going to get a
sufficient amount of vacuum to operate that new master cylinder? And
I don't think it will fit the truck very well without a significant
amount of hacking and fabrication. Back to the drawing board.
