UPDATE!! UPDATE!!
All is well in the Pierce Garage. Yesterday, I headed off to the shop for a more in depth brake system check over. The weather here is perfect, high's of 75, sunny, no rain in sight. After driving the truck to the shop the brakes started to lock up. Once I was on the lift, all four wheels would not spin. I released some pressure fromt the right rear wheel cylinder, and alot of fluid came out, hence alot of pressure. So, I pulled the drums, all looked good, wheel cylinders, hardware, ect. No leaks. I checked all adjustments, i.e, brake pedal/toe board clearance, and brake shoe to drum clearance, which was fine. I decided to pull the master cyliner and it looked ok, but inside it was grimey and there was some debri. I intalled a new master cylinder, and then bled the brake system, twice, and now the brakes are AWESOME!! Maybe the return port was clogged and it would not let fluid return to the master cylinder from the wheel cylinders. This truck brakes so good now, amd I am very happy!!
While I was in the shop, I went ahead and replaced the fuel pump, as it was leaking, and Mrs. Pierce doesn't like the smell of gas in the garage. I installed a passenger mirror, and running board steps. I had a extra floor board muffler heat sheild, I put that on, then spent the rest of the day cleaning, cleaning, and oh, more cleaning of the truck. Today we are going to head out to take some nice photos with the truck, so I will post them tonight!! HAVE A GREAT SUNDAY EVERYBODY!!!!!
