OUCH! I went to the brake/tire shop today, and they handed me an itemized bill for the complete full restoration of my 67 3500 brakes. It may as well have said, "Your Firstborn".
But I never compromise on brakes, and these brakes come with their tried-and-true warranty, so that is that.
At least I will likely never have to have any serious brake work again in my lifetime with this truck (I hope).
I also talked them into covering the shipping for all the parts (boy did they ever have to scrounge the planet for those), and I told them that my E Brake had better work like it just rolled off the assembly line!
Too bad that this turned out to be so much, because I now must delay the muffler-shop visit.
