Next steps - it’s running

Ok, it’s running good and I drove it around the complex. It definitely needs brakes gone through, however, every time I released the clutch it was not smooth, it chirped the wheels. Thinking I should go through the brakes and maybe replace the clutch.
Just wanted to get some insight from others, I’m sure there are others in here that have gone through this.

As always, I appreciate everyone input.

Re: Next steps - it’s running

Brakes, Steering, Fuel

Dual Master Cylinder and shoes, or go discs.

Get the steering linkage tight.

Verify fuel lines are good.
Make sure they don't route over the exhaust manifolds.

Here is a similar thread:

Everything that Lost said, and I always add a good set of seatbelts. https://www.seatbeltsplus.com/catego...eat-Belts.html
Would the clutch problem be described as grabbing and sticking then? If you do a clutch kit don't overlook having the flywheel resurfaced and maybe even having the ring gear for the starter either flipped around or replaced too.

Re: Next steps - it’s running

I have a single master cylinder, can I add a power booster from RockAuto, or is some kit required? Would brake lines need to be changed?

And, what is the best way to add power steering? Just buy a kit?

Re: Next steps - it’s running

Or you could buy the frame adapter from captainfab, the steering box from an auto parts place etc etc. It'd be much cheaper. That POL link doesn't show a engine bracket for the pump http://www.67-72chevytrucks.com/vboa...d.php?t=332923
Return hose - https://www.ebay.com/itm/Power-Steer...9/113738230621
Supply hose - https://www.ebay.com/itm/Power-Steer...QAAOSwV6heIoa1
Saginaw Pump - https://www.ebay.com/itm/BLACK-Sagin...0AAOSwmphcoTOC
The bracket for the pump would depend on your set up now, Water pump length and other brackets/pulleys currently used.
And the power brake booster firewall adapter - http://www.67-72chevytrucks.com/vboa...=1#post3257836

So, that's all I need?
Return hose, supply hose, pump, bracket for the pump, bracket for the booster - Comes out to around $271.00.

The only thing I need is a close-ratio steering box. That's going to cost about $300-$400... still comes out to the same cost.
