After a couple of weekends spent replacing the brake lines and hoses, I finally had the truck where it would stop, or at least I thought that I did. The parking brake still did nothing, and as I was moving the truck into a carport to do some work on the electrical system, I saw that the passenger side rear brake drum had been sticking. After ordering some parts, I started to rebuild the brakes, but I wasn't able to get the drum off. Eventually I gave up and cut the drum off, deciding instead that I would just get the brakes off of a 14 bolt at the local Pick-n-Pull.
