So I went to auto store bought some fluid put it in the master cylinder pumped brakes and it firmed right up...Brakes seem really good....Nobody drove the car really for the last I would say 7-10 years....Man I knew those brakes weren't right....Haven't noticed any fluid leaking been several hours now....At least feel good about driving it to my mechanic soon...
Thanks Stovebolters...darn this site is good!
Balls of steel baby....66 surf vehicle coming soon...well I won't say soon....
If you guys want to see balls of steel go to Google.com click images tab and then type in "Mavericks surf" and look at photos...I'm training to get on those waves....That's balls of steel! It 's a big wave spot near my house and hopefully I'll be cruisin to all the surf spots soon in my 66 chevy pickup! | | | | | Joined: May 2001 Posts: 709 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: May 2001 Posts: 709 | You may also want to pull the drums and check for wear on the shoes as well as any leaky cylinders or have your mechanic check them for you when you take it to him. Brakes are a serious safety item that you don't want to take chances with.

Drive safely and enjoy your new truck. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 926 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 926 | While you're looking at your wheel cylinders (be sure to peel back the rubber cover a little at the bottom of each end of the cylinder-that's where you'll see leakage if there's a problem starting),make sure the adjusters can turn,and look for leakage at the axle seals. Save ya some hassles later.
