I think you are doing the right thing. Check your hubs and be sure they don't need turning. Nothing better than pushing down on the brake pedal and know you are going to have brakes. Just my thoughts on the subject. Good luck.
They could not find an entire new brake system where I ordered the bearings,seals, and wheel cylinders for my hubs, they instead need to have new pads put on the old system. I compromised in the short term to just clean the pads I have now, so I can roll the truck around and test other parts of the truck. This is assuming the industrial de-greaser they are soaking in actually cleans the brakes. When the project gets closer to wrapping up and being a daily driver, I will find someone to re pad the shoes. I may have the drums turned at the same time, although everyone I asked said that the drums were good enough as is for now. I'll put the new springs and cylinders on, and we are cleaning up the rest of the moving parts. Should hold up for my future test drives.
