Re: SkinnyG's '61 Apache

I picked a handful of my most trusted students to go through the brakes and clutch and make them work.

Today we got a functional clutch pedal. Rebuilt the master, and got a new slave since I couldn't find a kit.

Brakes have all new kits in the cylinders, just needs to be bled. Shoes are all acceptable.

The front wheel bearings are POOCHED (but will get me home), and I just got replacement flex lines.

The truck needs to drive into my shop in the back yard; a tow truck will not fit.

Once we have brakes, we'll get it fired it up.
