Re: Project "Second Chance" - Hot Rod 66' GMC

Thanks again Captain. I'll check it out and report back.

Cape, I was able to get one drum off, but man even beating the snot out of the other I cannot get it off. One shoe seems disengaged, but the other seems really tight to it. I don't disagree that drums in the rear would be sufficient, but after many years of having all drums I absolutely hate drum brakes, working on drum brakes, and the way they feel.

In addition, I plan on running some larger rims (18's most likely) and would rather see disc through them than drum.

Relative to the overall cost of the restore adding disc in the back is fairly minor.
