Are any of these parts useful for anything other than scrap? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I did a disc brake upgrade on my '70 C2500, so I now have a complete 3/4 ton drum brake setup.

Who on earth would ever want a full drum brake setup for a 1970 3/4 ton truck?

Before I haul it to the dump or take it in for scrap (heavy stuff!) speak up if you're local!

I hate to scrap stuff but I just can't see anyone using them. I'd probably keep the drums but the rears were close to their limits (didn't check the fronts).

Also have the upper and lower control arms, spindles, steering link, and everything else that got replaced. Also scrap?
