Re: 51' 3100 build in PA New to Site
Dec 5th weekend - Well the snow is here for good. Kinda bumped I am just about to finalize my truck but I am not taking it out in this shizitttt.
I helped my friend sat and sunday switch his cab in a 87 chevy full size and then switch out his rear end, half of which was in the blizzard. geeeeeshhhh
So I FINALLY found my brake line problem. My MC had a rubber boot on the end of the Piston (prolly for shipping reasons etc) It got left on, so I think that was messing up my plung and release. Aside from that I re bled it. I had fluid to the rears in no time. I proceeded to just put new calipers and brake hoses on the front since that was one of the only things I didn't buy new. So I hooked that all up and now I have a nice firm pedal. I still have to start it up and check the pedal, and then prolly bleed them a little.
Put in my clutch slave cylinder as the old one was leaking. Replaced the MC with a better looking used one. Low and behold it is leaking too. (look at the bottom bolt in the pic, you can see it leaking down the firewall) I am wondering if something with the push rod is causing this or if these just sit too long they begin to leak? Well I am buying a new one regardless.
Got some 3 point retractable seatbelts I will be rigging up next weekend.
