Got under the truck last night after feeding and penning the animals.
Inspected the parking brake (prop shaft drum) and found plenty of friction material, might have to remove the ratchet pinion plate and weld up some teeth, might just have to knock a few decades of gunk out of the teeth that are there.
Definitely needs adjustment.
Looks like a brand new clutch - clean and thick. Very happy about that.
Also found new front hard brake lines and other new brake components, including new bleed nipples all around.
That was nice to see. Need to find out where the brake fluid went.
Got a call from the (soon to be previous) owner, got consent to buy it.
Here goes..!
