I drove mine home with brakes also, but I was lucky they didn't fail. They did later on my property. I also suggest you take the brakes apart and rebuild everything. I went with new everything, including the hydrovac. You can get the following books through several of the vendors at the links page of this site, a build book, a parts book, and a repair manual. I think these are also in digital format at,
http://chevy.oldcarmanualproject.com/. Take lots of digital pictures as you take things apart, and keep your parts in marked baggies or boxes. My two favourite vendors for getting parts were The Filling Station, and Jim Carter. If you need new bearings, you will find the fronts difficult to find. It drove me crazy finding them. A lot of guys suggest getting your brake cylinders and master cylinder sleeved. YOu can do a search and read about it. Have fun with your new big bolt, and be safe.
