I wanted original reliability in my stock style '48 Loadmaster. So I had all the shoes relined, I rebuilt all four wheel cylinders, rebuilt stock master-cylinder, turned all four drums, replaced all rubber lines, replaced the emergency brake cables, and a few steel lines. Repacked the bearings, changed the rear end fluid and everything has worked great since! Well after 2 or 3 readjustments of the brakes...
I did not resleeve with SS on my M/C or W/C, I figured if I have a problem with them again then I will have it done.
So far its been a couple years and almost a thousand miles. I haul around 4-5k loads on pretty flat terrain. There are pictues in my album if your interested.
