Doing wheel cylinders tomorrow and brake shoes tomorrow. maybe she'll stop a little better. i need to look into getting a new e-brake cable as i do not have one.

Got the work done today. Had an issue though. One of the brand new wheel cylinders blew apart. But now all is good and I have brakes again.

But autozone replaced it and I'm up and running. Now I can track down some other leaks in the braking system under the hood. Of there are any.

Yeah. Got all of it out multiple times lol. We had issues with it. My grandpa said it should get better as the shoes break in I guess.

fixed my PS door handle today. clip for the lock came off i guess when i put the new handles and lock in a few weeks back. so now i can unlock both doors lol. also took an old hanger and tied my mufflers and pipes together. then hung them up a bit at the factory hanger mount. its redneck but works. also started mounting my rear view mirror. truck never had one since i have had it. which is only 10 months. first attempt failed. i followed the directions on the mounting kit and everything and put the mirror on and as soon as i went to adjust it to my liking it popped off. so i tried again and just left the mount on the windshield ill mess with it sometime tomorrow and hopefully it stays after sitting over night.

bit of an update of me possibly trading the truck. currently at the moment i am due to trade it for an 87 rclb Square body 4x4. 5.7 TBI. am supposed to be meeting the guy soon. i also have a few other offers of gmt400s that include a 96 tahoe 4 door 4wd, a 95 tahoe 4 door 4wd, and a 91 rclb z71.

You should always let the mirror glue dry 24 hours before reinstalling the mirror. I don't care what the package says, it never holds up otherwise for me.

Sorry to see this truck go, you have put a lot of work into it in a short time. But square body is cool too
