Re: Questions about brakes on a 1969 k5 4x4
There were a couple of things that I absolutely hated about driving my 1970 Blazer. One was the accelerator pedal that would fall off if you looked at it cross eyed, and the other was the front drum brakes. The braking effectiveness was mediocre at best, and more often times than not the thing would pull to either side. During the restoration, I have addressed both. Both designs were updated to 1971/72. Should not be hard to convert it over. The parts are still plentiful and will solve your poor braking.
