Re: daily driver status:brake edition
Eric, try adjusting the rear brakes, they govern the pedal height via the master cyl. 33 years as a Chevy mechanic and I still don't quite understand how it works. You would think the fronts would grab right away as they do 70% of the brakeing. Proper adjustment is just tight enough so you can feel a SLIGHT drag when rotating the wheel by hand. Leave trans in neutral and use jack stands. Check your brake hoses, especially if it has a pull condition on apply OR release if the adjustment don't work out. Last move would be the master cyl. Let us know, Jim

Little stuff left to do is mount winch, wet sand & buff out and build belly pan\running boards. Body work takes lots and LOTS of beer!!!! God, Guts and Guns made America and God, Guts and Guns will preserve it! The worst thing you could do is get into my sights, but that don't matter, you'll never know it, cause you'll never hear the shot  Jim or Paladin whichever you choose.
