    Brake bleed advice

    Cool. I was a jarhead in the 70s and had this truck. Still had the flat head six. Pulled the head once and there was a chuck of head gasket missing between 2 cylinders. Replaced it. Ran just the same! LOL. After I was discharged I drove it back to Texas. Man did it take a while. I've got a...

    Brake bleed advice

    So I changed the flex hoses in my brake system until such time I can move to a dual system and/or get steel braided hoses. I bought a vacuum bleeder, a cheap one.
