Buford, my 55.1 that I've had for 20 years, needed a new master cylinder. I figured I'd replace it with a dual M/C for safety's sake, which means that I have to run new brake lines (they're all original). I got under the truck and saw how rusty the lines were and noticed how bad the wood in the bed was. So I figured that it would be easier to replace the brake lines from the top and I needed to replace wood anyhow.....next thing I know I have the entire back apart and am wire brushing the frame! Now I'm trying to decide whether to replace the springs or just clean them up. They were so caked with decades old mud that I don't think there was any movement with them which may be why the truck rode so darn hard!
