We're they sticking or just an eyesore?

It jerked to the left when I pressed the pedal, I initially was going to replace just the lines, but the bleeders were seized and stripped. So I went ahead and replaced the calipers and pads as well.

On 20 year old truck that's the best thing to do. That's what I did when the brakes stuck on the Burb. New calipers, hoses and pads. Your calipers look like the Burb ones except maybe a little bigger. Same type of pad clips and mounting system.
Is the rotor badly grooved? Looks like it's still within spec thickness wise.

The passenger side outer surface has a significant lip on it, but they’ll survive for a while, the drivers side is in a lot better condition, but both do have acceptable thickness.

Finally got the brakes done, it stops straight as an arrow now.

This Harbor Freight vacuum brake bleeding tool really makes bleeding brakes by yourself a lot easier.

Still had an acceptable amount of thickness on the pads, but....

I really didn’t like the way these cracks looked, and since I was already there, what’s $40 more?? Lol

How much was the vacuum bleeder?

It was $24.99. I really like Harbor Freight for the light mechanical stuff I do around the house. Their quality couldn’t hold up when I was a diesel mechanic, but they do mostly fine for the occasional stuff I do now.

Awesome. I need brakes think I'll try that. Can you leave the mc lid off when you use it?
