Well I have started to dig into it. Pulled all the drums off and need to replace the complete wheel cylinders with new. I feel the inside are not as good as they should be. Replaced the brakes on the rear with the new ones that came with it, now I took them back off. Front brakes are NEW along with the complete front housing, hubs, bearings, axles, backing plates and seals. I now know what some of the seals are for and will replace the rear axle seals on the hub also. Still have not found what the ones with 6-bolt holes fit. Master cylinder is new and no fluid in it yet. 95% of the brake lines have been replaced allready. I have 2-front shackels(with Rubber) and 2-Tie Rods ends(complete) still in boxes and new to trade for parts I need, mine have been replaced allready on it. I also have 2-drums and 2 hubs that are extra. I won't get rid of these parts till I am into it further tho not sure what it would take to get them again. I have a drive shaft that is new and I do not know what it is for? It has regular universals not like the ones on the front and rear ones. It is about 4 ft long with a slip joint and about 1 1/4 inch in dia. Might be for the PTO but not sure yet. So my drive line as far as the axles, drive shafts, brakes, bearings and gears are new. Next step is to get into the trans and tranfer case to check it out for wear. They all work & look good from the outside but not sure what they look like inside. Wish my manuals were here. Mark H.
