Re: Help Drum Breaks

And by the way, it this truck has been setting for a number of years there is a good chance your brake fluid is now oatmeal in there! I simply bit the bullet and replaced all the lines, wheel cylinders, hoses, and master cylinder. It was super easy, the tubing bought at the parts store is now easily bent without a tubing bender and I put the whole thing is with only one line needing to be shortened from the ones right off the shelf. I now have all new brakes and have never had a single problem running all the original design, singer reservoir master cylinder and all.
