Re: Picked up my first square body!

Welp! its still at the shop. Fixed the broken bolt on the thermostat housing
(welded a nut to the stud and she came off! woot)

replaced the detent cable as someone tried cutting it with pliers and failed. was having a hard shift issue,thing shifts smooooooooth now. Win.

Now onto this brake deal....if you BARELY press them on a roll up to a redlight etc the back driver side wheel locks up. I picked up front pads,and calipers. Pulled the drum off everything looks fine. no weird wear. they need to be adjusted a tad tighter,but thats it.

Rear center hose has been replaced at one time,some idiot used vice grips and rounded the head off. Ive got a new hose but,i dunno if i wanna change it now or not.

Im wondering if the front calipers are about seized as truck sat up for some time. lil pad left on front too. Or maybe a worn proportioning valve? checked the reset thing in it,it wasnt flipped. i'll make a thread about this.
