As soon as I get enough greenbacks saved up I'm putting them on the 3/4 ton scout car. The fronts never did really work that well anyway, and even after new plumbing and cylinders they are not mutch better. Add to the fact that my drums are way out of round from the last owner who tried to fix the brake problems. Hey I belive in originality in theory, but safety concerns me more as I have put it in the ditch with both feet on the dash and both hands pulling on the hand brake when they failed the last time. Glad I had 5.83's to keep my speed down and glad I live out in the country so I did'nt hit anything or anyone!
Lesson learned from that expirence: when you replace one bad brake line, rest assured that there is another one about to go bad, so just replace them all.
