Brakes...
sorry to post all these new threads all the time but the search didnt help much. I am just wanting to clean and inspect my brakes all around and bleed them as well and whatnot, i have always been a do it yourselfer but only with discs not drums. these are drums on my 69 f100. i am thinking theyve been neglected for some time since they are weak.

If you haven't messed with drums much before, might be a good idea to find an old Chilton's manual that goes the adjustment procedure step by step. Bleeding is the same, start with the wheel furthest away from the master cylinder.... Drum brakes are a bit difficult to get set up correctly so the truck will stop in a straight line, but with a bit of patience it can be done.
