@RR-tu2nb Hell ya - we always have fun and too be honest this is why we're doing this videos. Too have fun, spend time together and occasionally get some work done on projects that have been sitting for awhile. Thanks for the comment. R
Did you guys retain the original brake system?...the hydro-vac on my 68 Loadstar is toast and I'm trying with just going with manual brakes as the pedal has a lot of adjustment options for the master cylinder push rod. My 304 doesn't leak and runs pretty good... needs new points, rotor and cap. May pull her and do a "krylon rebuild". Nice seeing you guys giving her a new lease on life!
@sebo1911 - So far yes the hydro-vac is still in place, when Ken picked the truck up the brakes worked fine, then when I got home and finally drove it for the first time there were zero brakes. Truck sat for a couple weeks then we moved it into the shop to correct the massive oil leaks (more videos to come) and all of sudden the brakes work. If we keep having issues we'll look at getting ready of the hydro-vac. Krylon (or Craigslist) rebuild for the win! LOL So far we're really enjoying the old girl and hope to have her road worthy soon. Thanks for the comment! R
@@twodrunkbrothersgarage4911 you bet...I'm on "standby" as far as working on mine as I'm still on the mend from hip surgery. I have seen quite a bit of information regarding putting a vacuum boost from a modern truck. Kind of want to wait on that until I decide if I'm going to keep these original widowmaker wheels or find a 6 to 10 l conversion.
If your having fun with your brother, your doing it right!
