Those generally deteriorate from the inside out, so even if they look decent replace them as well before flushing/bleeding the system.

And last but most important - take lots of picture now. It's always a bummer years in the future when you look back on how far the project has come, and discover there are very few if any photos of what it looked like when it first arrived.

Good luck, that's a nice looking truck.

Thank you Mark! I documented that sheet and will see how it survives getting the seat redone. A good friend of mine that did a 64 had the same advice. I have documented everything I have done and every bolt that gets taken off! It appears the brakes/bushing were replaced at some point as they appear much newer than the truck.

Tossed in the wheel and floor covers so it doesn't look so plain.

Picked up a new drivers window I will install. Not sure what happened to the original.


Replaced the two flat tires, but it still has a serious lean. maybe worn springs?



While changing the tires I documented the suspension. Brake lines look fine



This bushing looks new.
