Re: Brake issues 2Ton Viking 59

I posted this in the general section because this is were i troll mostly....
not much to post Due to Family issues.... haven't had much to do with my truck.
Now i feel it the last chance and the time is right to bond once more with my truck just need some guidence.

I may have been luled into a sense of security.
Because I paid $600 to have the Hydroboost rebuilt and
$300 for a new not rebuilt master.
I now see the same master on amazon is $80
still at $80 this antiquated system is not were i want to be driving this truck down the road.!

So I believe an upgrade to move this truck from "Yard art" to a driver
the C50 I have seen in the junk yard have disc in the front not drum to drum.

now i could just sorse a late model C50/60 and reuse the drivetrain....
but then the "feel" will be gone and nolonger be the truck i drove 40 yrs ago in Highschool..!

It's hard to explain and it's a fine line from what it was and trying to keep it
that way.

I could buy a nicer truck but it's not this truck...
I just need it to be able to drive it around without changing the characture....
............................Sorry if i sound like a broken record
I just dont want to change to much with this truck but want to drive it without to much angst....

It had 3 switches just to start this truck...
and I try to keep them like I remember (Fuel on Ignition on Start)
has a side marker on the dash for L,O, pressure....Sp
