Re: Trying to make Junky perhaps just a little bit Funky...

Did NOT have a good day working on the truck. First, I wasted half the day working on my regular car.

Then I attempted to work on the brakes for the truck:

- Drum Brakes: Royal PITA; eventually gave up. I'll get my friend to help me.
- Parking Brake: I bought the wrong intermediate line - got one for a SWB. It's not worth the cost of shipping to return it.
- Front Brake Hose: The hose that goes from the caliper to the right front wheel did not fit in the mounting hole. I had to grind the connector of the hose to make it fit. This is the first part from Rock Auto I have had a problem with.
- Front Brake Lines: Having a hard time manuevering the front brake line through the frame to meet the caliper hose.

Ugh! Finally called it a night.

If anyone wants a SWB intermediate parking brake line, let me know and I'll send it to you.
