A year has gone by and lots of work has come with it. Brake problems are sorted out. Feel like a moron, but it was a simple fix. When I put all the new pieces in the rear I had to move the adjuster all the way in to get the hubs off. Well, I forgot to adjust them back when I replaced everything, soon as I did that, they work no problem. Also had a motor issue. When I first put it back in I filled it with water to save wasting antifreeze if I had a leak anywhere. No leaks. When I put the truck away for winter I drained the radiator and let the motor run to pump any extra water out. As it turns out there was a bit too much water left in and it popped the block right next to a freeze plug.
