Brakes up grade done

[Myoldtruck]

Ive had my 70 c10 4 months now. Braking with the unknown maintained 4 wheel drums was a little nerve racking, pulled to the right then to the left. so it was time to pull every thing apart. this was a manual drum brake system.

after 45 years there was alot of dirt, rust, grime, ect. I found master cylinder leaking in rear of it, one wheel cylinder wet also. 3 hoses dry rotted. I didnt have the money to do disc brake upgrade this year. So i replaced everything, cleaned everything, new best drum shoes, springs clips ect. Back to oem specs.

I added a power brake booster. I learned how to double flare tubing, from m/c to distribution block. The new front wheel cylinders came with new 10mm bleedrs, unable to get a wrench or socket onit, to close to the spindle, i had to buy speed bleeders to fix that problem.

I test drove the truck the last two days, and it is a pleasure to drive again. Braking effort is very easy, stopping straight. I also added a front sway bar, new front shocks, and greased the front end. Life is good.
