Re: '70 Drum Brakes; when is rebuilding necessary? what should be done to optimize pe

I rebuilt the drums on our 67 this spring and replaced the master cylinder, and while it's no disc setup, it stops plenty fine for an old truck. If your truck is a daily driver I HIGHLY recommend discs, but if you just drive it for fun, the drums will work fine too.
