Ok so you guys that frequent here know i have been having issues with my brakes not bleeding. Well low and behold i had the wrong master cylinder, apparently the goof at the parts store failed to tell me that the store did not stock a dual m/c for a truck without power brakes and i was pissed off at the truck today so i was just going to take the stock m/c back as a core and put a stock one back on for the time being well i did and it worked it took me a whopping 10mins to install and another 10mins to bleed. My friend was laughing at me so hard and said Finally i can stop listenting to you piss an moan about that old truck. So now i am in a very good mood and tommorow i will double check everything, do an oil change and install my new headlight then drive the truck to work tommorow night. I cant wait it has been about 3 months since i have gotten to drive it.

well that old inline 6 doesnt have many horsed to tame but i just took it out on the road away to go dump some oil off at the parts store and show the guys there what they had been helping me with. On the way home i did get it up on the highway and had it cruising at 60mph and being as i havent tested the brakes at that speed yet it was pretty nerve racking i have to admit but i made it home safely and all is good now i get to drive it to work tonight yippee
