I need some help with an old Dodge truck.

The rear end is a monster! Good lord. I have never seen such a beast. My plan is to just pull the inspection cover. Clean, inspect and reseal. I will be opening the rear brake system and looking closely at all that.

The owner really wants to keep this truck as original as possible.

The front left shoes are almost new, thickness wise. I have not pulled the passenger side apart yet. Im bouncing around a bit, right now Im doing rust repair on the cab. I need to stay ahead of the customers plans.

As always. What looks to be a clean cab, needs rust repair..... every single time.

"Man this is clean!"

Later.... "****."

I didnt do more than 1 square foot of rust repair on my Fargo.
There was more work on the frame than anything else.

i get him wanting to stay close to original, but things like brakes can open a can of worms. The big trucks are way more money to fix, parts arent as common.
i was $800 into my front end, shoes,seals,hoses, wheel cylinders and king pins. For that money plus a little i could have converted to disc brakes.
