The Beast - 1964 K10 Resurrected

[1964K0]

Thankfully, I have a long driveway along with a large, relatively gentle sloping yard, so there I had a lot of room to recover from my initial "oh crap" moment.

Unfortunately, quite a bit of the parking brake mechanism is missing, so I didn't have that to fall back on. The single circuit hydraulic brake system just doesn't instill much faith in me on a truck I am planning on driving on the road, so I am splitting the system. I bolted on a dual reservoir master cylinder from a 71 that was sitting on the shelf, & the rod seems to be the perfect length without any modification. Now if I can just manage to get my lines bent & installed without making knots out of them. That is my goal for the upcoming weekend.

Then I will have to research what is missing from the parking brake & try to locate those pieces.
