Ya Not feeling that.....
I rebuilt the ones on my (other car)
and it didn't work out so well.
I just said never again
there about $27 @ X 6 All in and done I will be into the brake system around
$1500 and I'm Ok with that I feel blest to find this truck and feel
just do it because those big tires kicked my arse.
I don't want to remove them ever again if i can help it
.
My goal.....
Get it to run...(did that)
Drive it make it road worthy (working on that)
.
Remove rotten bed
Inspection and paper work..(soon)
brake it down and stop the rust...
preservation of paint without changing the charcater (that will be hard to do)
.
Next will be
putting brakes together...Hydrovac/MC/lines/hoses/shoes
paint tire rims/R&R Lugs & studs
Gin up Radiator
total rewire
rework grill
Temp patch Floor (inspection propose)
.
Ideal i think I'm heading in this direction (Long term)
Heavy P/U
