Brakes a big job? Maybe so, but have to start somewhere. I have been there (still am in many areas) as many of us have. Brakes were my first and they were surprisingly easy with some coaching. Fun to learn and accomplishments are rewarding. Take a deep breath and get your hands dirty. You will find lots of folks (here and there) to help along the way. Do you have the shop manual? If not, you can find the link to the shop manual on the sight. Looks like a nice truck. My truck came from colorado by way of wisconsin. Not so lucky in my case, since I have now replaced all sheetmetal front of the cab. Much work on the cab and doors as well. Mine looked good on the outside, but it was not pretty underneath. 4 years later and a dwindling checkbook and still having a blast learning about old chevy trucks.
Welcome to the sight.
