ok this is how it goes as this is moved from the general discussion...
I bought another bump (a 68 swb )as the 71 lwb needed way to much to get it on the road now!!!
I had my AAA tow it home from Covia Ca. as the brake paddle did not feel right as I pumped it ( I wanted to be safe thinking the Master was going)
I got to say this NOW AS SOME PEOPLE SHOULD NEVER EVER WORK ON A CAR OR TRUCK!!!!! this guy that owned it may have killed some one and or him self!!
aster a week I had her putting a better carb on her ran hell of a lot better I wanted check the brakes out !!soo i pull all wheels off the rear drums and WTF theres no adjusting levers or cables or the guides and on the pass side the spring was broke and mickey mouse in!!!now thats the rear !!The fronts well the same thing no adjusting lecers or cables or the guides. The drum on the pass side must of came from a 66 and down as it did not fit on there right being spaced out with a old bearing seal so it did not rub the backing plate moron.theres the pic below
whats wrong here do you see it

well I put all new hardwere on all four and new wheel cylinders as well as they look like there were about to go and a new master I found a drum and hub at a salvage yard for 40 and a lot of other parts yesterday!!

well as I was doing all that I change out heater valve ( i found one on a 75 INTERNATIONAL SCOUT) and brown mud came out this guy neve had Antifreeze in it . So I fudhed it all out put Antifreeze in it . Before I did that I changed the thermostat and to come and find out after buying it!! it was the the wrong size (too small) he got a 66 and down thermostat housing (they take a bigger one )well I got that and its in.I did the dowel check(I leared it here )to see if a 360 or 390 well it is a 390 . Another sore at Ecology Auto Parts was an pertronix ignition! a $80 to $120 item for free!I put it in and guess on the gap it fired on the the frist turn of the key!! I got a wiper delay switch off 78 Bronco for 6.00 and all the window modeings and a back window one as well I got two dash bezels a nicer Custom Cab and Ranger plastic one(better then the white painted one i had in the 68 and a real nice standard steel one
