Re: 69 c50 brake questions

To be honest, yes I did. I know it's taboo to say, "it's too much trouble to modernize to a dual circuit and possibly save my life"...but that old single circuit system worked for many extremely hard days without fail.

I really am putting a lot of faith in it's ability to keep me alive and well, but I just don't know enough about changing brake systems to make a seamless and quick changeover(...that won't leave my truck off the road for months and months while figuring it out).



The only things that were not replaced were the rear brake shoes, a few random springs that weren't in the spring kit I bought, the main section of brake line from the front to rear of truck, and brass splitters. All lines were inspected and did not have bad rusting on outside, and all old lines removed were inspected for pitting on the inside as well as I could, and no pitting was found so I assumed the rest of the old lines that I left in place were good.
EVERYTHING else is brand new. Everything. (master was remanufactured)
