Re: Brand New Old '69!
So it is a GMC. It was advertised as a C10 and in this picture it has a bowtie on the tailgate. I thought the previous owner may have just slapped those on there. I know a lot more about old cars than old trucks. Do any of you have one that does not have power brakes. When I test drove it, I could barely keep the truck at a stand still while at a stop sign. I forgot to look or even ask if it was all drum, but I assume it is w/out power brakes. Anyways, I had to stand on the brake to keep it from putting along. Is this normal with manual brakes? I couldn't imagine this happening with just bad shoes. Regardless, I'm having then put in a power brake conversion kit for me since it's a 120 mile drive home on the interstate. I don't want to rear end a semi because I couldn't stop. Thanx for any and all help you guys can give!
