Rear brakes over hauled this weekend along with a transmission fix after driving it over to a buddies house. I started out changing the brake shoes on the rear along with wheel cylinders on both sides. Had to chisel off 1 bolt on each side. Got passenger side done went to mount the wheel cylinder and they gave me 2 of the same side.
Anyway got all the brakes working again and drove it over to pick some tee shirts up at a friends house and the linkage came a part. Cotter key broke off and the linkage fell off. Had to jack it up and put it in gear by hand. Drove it home and fixed that today along with pressure washing the under side.
