Looks good! The green spring on the bottom of the brakes is backward. The long bend clears the star wheel. Not to nitpick, just pointing out. (BTDT) Man, it's really looking good!

Appreciate you posting, I put them back the way they were and didn't know it was in wrong. I'll go back in and straighten them out!

To add to that, on those bottom springs, there is always one end with a long hook. That end is the one that goes towards the adjuster wheel. This applies across the board, not just GM trucks. The hook passes by the star wheel without rubbing where if you put it in backwards like the pic, the spring coil rubs on the star wheel.
