Re: Gorey's 67 GMC 3/4 ton Shop Truck

I was wrong about bending the springs. The brake bar springs do not come with the drum kit. You have to also buy them separately.
From Napa, I had to buy:
For the rear:
-the new drums (cheaper than having them turned due to being 12" for the 3/4 ton)
-wheel cylinders (they do NOT come with push rods)
-push rods (which you cannot buy new, I had to buy from a forum member)
-brake pads
-brake drum kit
-brake bars
-brake bar springs
-then the complete stainless steel lines
-brake booster
-and went ahead and picked up the master cylinder since it was only $20.
-will need complete ebrake system (i tried just new rear cables but the rest are so stretched it doesn't work)

But even without the new brake booster it works. Just sometimes the peddle gets really hard and doesn't give all the brake it should. and with the vacuum seal leak the engine revs when you press the brakes and makes it hard to shift into gear.
