New brakes for the '60

[Corts60]

I am rebuilding the brakes on my Jimmy because I knew the left front wheel wasn't working. Turns out somone at some point installed an inner hub seal (and destroyed it while doing so) that leaked onto all the brake components for the left front drum. So I ordered new wheel cylinders and pads and a new master cylinder.

Today I was only able to get the new pads on, but look at what happened when I tried to replace the wheel cylinders! Brother Trucks completely sent me the wrong cylinders! So, I ended up getting a rebuild kit from NAPA and a cylinder hone to rebuild the originals. The top wheel cylinder in the pic is the rebuilt original, and the bottom is what Brother's Trucks list as a front wheel cylinder for a '60 GMC. I don't think so.



Also, here is a pic from the car show this weekend...

Cool pic. Your truck really draws my eyes to it. I bet It doesn't get lost in a parking lot.

I ran into that same problem with my 65 chev.the loop style is the one I have too.
I was able to go back to the parts store (carquest)and they got me the right one over night.
same price as the other one too.

Ive never been a big fan of those type of white walls but they work really nice.
