Wow those rear brakes are shot! Almost looks like they were stuck on.

Did you have to replace the drums in the process?

Yep it is. Very little of that shoe left.

BTW: Nice C10. Got any more shots of it? My buddy is doing a frame off on a '66 C10 shortbed flareside.

Brother -- you have a good attitude about it. Brakes are an easy fix and one of the most important systems of any vehical.
It's cool how you and your wife work as a team. I truly hope you enjoy your newly purchased bird.

That will definitely get you and your bird more intimate!  Good luck pulling the motor.
