  4. Brakes binding after stopping. Brake job?!

      Broken springs do that. Remove drums to verify.

      Thanks datsunaholic, I will do that. Can you buy replacement springs? Or should I just replace the pads and all? Have a good one!

  5. Arrgggg. Brakes felt a bit less firm, more normal to me. Still binds after stopping. L rear locks on hard braking, normal for pickup? I guess it's time for a brake job, yuck. I'll inspect each brake before I replace pads. Maybe I've got a loose spring? Any tips would be appreciated Thanks Uncle Laulau
  6. ok status thus far...1st pedal looked good. 2nd master cylinder was at min fluid mark, no visible leaking. 3rd L front wheel moderately hard to spin, and seemed our of round. 4th I turned adjusting wheel L front up 1cm. wheel spun free. Now Im gonna drive around a bit, brakes don't fail me now! oh i topped off brake fluid
  7. I've got sticking brakes in my 72 pu. Started off noticing r front locking up the first time I applied the brakes. That went away and now I'm noticing sticking at stops. Im going to inspect the pedal, master cylinder, and brakes in that order. Thanks for the informative posts, and I'll let everyone know how it goes. Ive got my money on the r front being broken. I remember hearing a clunk when I broke way back. The clunk is gone and now the sticking.
  8. Long time no ratsun! Hope everyone is having a beautiful spring day. I busted out my short pants!

    Oh my word, thanks and more thanks goes out to Wayno! Wayno came over after a perfect game of golf and started my truck right up. First he drained my gas tank, found water in it! Then got my wiring mess taken care of and put back in the points distributor and got it running! Wayno you rock!
  14. The weeds are eating my lil truck...hopefully today I can get er going again. a>
