Re: Grandpa's Truck '71 Chevy C20
7/9/2020 Emergency brake
I was hoping to get some kind of brakes easily hooked up so I could safely move it around.
Hooked up the emergency brake cables to the rear axle cables. I thought the adjustets on main cable from the pedal would too rusty to remove. I soaked them over night with penetrating oil and wire wheeled them and the nuts backed right off. Got everything thing hooked up, tested the pedal, and the rusty main cable pulled in half.
I guess brakes are going to be a bigger job than I hoped.
