On Friday I finally finished the brake job on Lucille! New master cylinder, new wheel cylinders, new lined huck brake shoes, new hoses, new brass blocks, and shiny new stainless brake lines!! And with good advice given to me by "Achipmunk" I was able to safefully drive to the Southern Stovebolters Reunion in Spartanburg, SC! It such a great feeling knowing that now I have a safe truck to enjoy riding. Lucille has other issues still but the brake thing has haunted me for three years. I finally had to make the decision to redo the whole system. A nice end to what was a lengthy process for me.

BTW, from one Vietnam Veteran to all you Stovebolt Veterans....Happy Veterans Day!! Remember...Some gave all...All gave some!
