Read your Gallery report on the "new" truck and see that you got a quick baptism in AD brakes. You do know that the "parking" brake is also an "emergency" brake don't you? But I guess that didn't work either. You may find out that $7,000 truck would have been a better buy. However it sounds like restoration is in your blood and this is your hobby. If that is the case, you will have much more fun "bonding" with this truck. Good luck, hang around here and you'll learn a bunch from these guys.
