Re: 1978 Chevy K20 longbed with nearly 500,000 miles! LS Swap begins!

I had quite the lame weekend on this one. I finally got the parking brake cables in, and intended on bleeding the brakes and installing the wheels, and maybe even getting a test drive in! The front parking brake cable went well, but the intermediate one turned out to be for a shortbed wheelbase, so I ordered the next size up.

Then, bled the rear brakes only to not get that great of pressure out to the rear. After vacuum bleeding the rears, and various troubleshooting, I could sometimes get pressure at the rear, and sometimes not. The proportioning valve was replaced quite a few years ago, but it’s acting like it’s sticking to one side now. I ordered up a new one and will try again next week!
