I washed Kansas yesterday . She is blue under there!

 

I would never have guessed that from the other pics.

 

No way! Are you sure you didn't buy another truck? No way Kansas is blue. Love that color though.

 

I think I m going to wet sand it and clear it for now.

 

Brake problems ! I am replacing the wheel cylinders next week. Plates to follow!

 

 

 

I took Kansas' wheels off and took a good look at her brakes! Let's say they need some help! I found two bad grease retainers/ rear seal
rear passenger

front driver
. All the wheel cylinders looked like this
. Front Passenger springs need some help too

 

Can I get new drums and shoes for aF5 I am working on getting the wheel cylinders

 

Chris,

Try NAPA or a good local auto parts store first. JobLot auto in NY had a complete brake set up, four wheel cylinders, master cylinder and three hoses for the big trucks for around $300 when I checked with them a few years back. All parts are brand new, not rebuilt.

As for drums, they are some of those parts made of "unatainium", you'll have to search around for a set of good used one, no one reproduces them.

 

Can I have the drums cut and have the shoes re plated with thicker liners

 

Hey now, that wheel cylinder can be rebuilt!

 

I picked up the brakes today! $1100 in parts!!! That's what I payed for the hole truck lol
I need a rear retaining clip that holds the rear inner seal in place. I can t find it at Napa, ford dealer ... Does anybody have a part number for it?

 

Rear drums cut and ready

Fronts

 

Backer plates painted and ready for Assembly

Shoes with new liners
