Re: Grandpa's Truck '71 Chevy C20

I'm behind on updates. I've got the brake system finish, all new or rebuild wheel cylinders,hubs, bearings, calipers, brake lines, booster, master cylinder, proportioning valve. My son came home from college yesterday afternoon and today, he helped me bleed the brakes and work on lights.

I was able to drive it about a quarter mile to a dead end road and down the dead end road. Brakes worked good, I could lock them up on the gravel road. Engine started right up after sitting since spring. Shifted through all these gear with the column shifter.

I've got rear marker light, taillights and one brake light working. The socket is bad on the pass. side brake/taillight. I've got power to some of the front parking and marker lights but they are not lighting so it must be a ground.
I need to work on the dash lights and warning lights. Replace the pass. taillight/brake light socket.

Over all a big win to make a successful test drive.
