Re: 61 GMC 4x4, project getting stuck

I went through and replaced the wheel cylinders, master cylinder, clutch slave cylinder, front shoes, and the flexible hoses. Working on replacing some seals as well.

Pretty confident the front axle bearings are probably shot. When I popped the front diff cover this grayish goop of a fluid came out. See pics.

Eventually I will rebuild the axles (Dana 44 front and HO35 rear supposing I can find parts) and upgrade to a dual master/hydraulic clutch upgrade kit from one of the fabricators on here, it just wasn't in the cards this time around.



Also had a question if this external brake booster was an after market addition or what? I have not found a lot of information for this truck. It is a Haldex brand.


Also I appreciate all the information on the FAQs and the various other posts I have combed through for answers to some of the hiccups.


Not sure why the photos are sideways.....
