As you confront problems be sure to go to the proper area of this site and ask away. Regarding the brakes, there is a large truck shop in Phoenix called Phoenix Brake and Clutch. If you have all the parts to your brake system they will be able to reline brake shoes, turn the drums, arc the shoes to the drums, reline cylinders, etc. You will likely be in good shape. Keep us posted!
