Re: And so it begins! Ghost's 68 project

Truck is back on the ground!

I ended up redoing the whole rear brake set up also while it was torn apart. I went with wiwood rear discs and pads. PO ran a hard line straight to the caliper so I ended up installing brake hoses that a good buddy gave me. Drained out all the old brake fluid and filled the system with new Motul RBF600. I purchased a Motive brake bleeder and bleed the system until all the air was out. Topped of the rear end with some 80-90 gear oil and slapped the rims on. Should I wait in the alignment until the suspension settles.

I might have to try and bleed the brakes again since the peddle feels really mushy and the pads don't grab like they should.

Happy with the progress though. Too bad I can't post up a vid but here's a pic
