Re: Where to begin with this 69 C10 project?
Congrats on the truck! I'm excited for you! Say, quick thing on your brakes pulling ..I had the same thing on my 67 w/ drum brakes. Someone here on the board told me, and I didn't believe it till I tried it and it worked... but before you go and tear your brakes all apart you may want to find a big parking lot,(empty) drive to the end of it, put your truck in reverse, get some speed up and MASH on the brakes. (repeat) I did it a couple of times but then tried it going forward, they adjusted themselves out and it braked straight as an arrow.. worked for me, I used to have to do this once a year or so. If it doesn't work, then go ahead and tear it apart! Even if it doesn't work, it's still fun to do! Keep us posted on the progress!
