Dewey no longer does them. His referral is now POWERBRAKEBOOSTERin Lynnwood, Wa 1-503-238-8882 (deweys old number) but will contact Lynnwood location. They did my '63 and it took 6+ months. If interested suggest sending early winter and may have by springtime for summer driving. begee22

I also used BrakeBoosters in San Luis for my mid 60's 9" booster that is on my 56 Nomad.

To the OP, sorry for the deviation. Rick, I've owned the 56 Nomad for 20 years and the first pic is how it's looked for all that time.
Next pics shows it now since I tore it down to clean things up and add a 400 Smallblock, 700R4, Larger Front Discs,
Rear Discs, PW, Power Vent Windows, Tilt Column and A/C. I'm not getting any younger, got to get into it now while I can.
Thanks,
Mike T - Prescott AZ
