Install Drum Brakes/brake lines/wheel cylinder Chevy c10

[@bobstacey9311]

Had my wife help me bleed the brakes, she was pushing the pedal to the firewall & nothing was happening climbed out from underneath the car and realised she was pumping the gas pedal!

[@tedcorey3054]

That's hilarious . A friend told me , years ago he had an old Pontiac , don't remember the model . It broke down somewhere , so he took his wife , went to the car ,fixed it and had his wife drive it home . When he got it home he realized something was wrong with the motor , it was blown , he thought she could drive stick , she couldn't .It was a 4spd. and she never took it out of first gear .

I must say its easier to watch a complete brake job than it is to do one excellent work I'm working one a 1966 K20 and I'm not looking forward to building brake lines love your videos you are an inspiration to me that I can tackle things similar to get my old truck back on the road. Thanks

[@jessegonzales6780]

Nice job on those break lines. Looking forward watching your videos.🇺🇸

[@hughmansgarage8680]

Cheers there Mr Gibson, another no nonsence display of good craftmanship.. Thank you, handy review for me before I dig into to my 64 GMC project

[@primeredisbest]

You're very good with brakes my friend! Thanks for the video!

[@donaldsmith7943]

Know you're from the South when you have a cotton spindle for a punch. Made good center punches too.

[@douglaslambert579]

Always look forward to your videos. Lot of the mechanical work you do crosses over to other vehicle’s. I’ve got a ‘69 SS Chevelle I need to do the same to it.

[@jeffreygilmour6146]

Love you videos! I’m restoring a 66 and you have helped me enormously! Thank you and love you work those truck are awesome!

[@stevestock2439]

Hi Gib. Im 65 years old and been turning wrenchs since i was 16 years old. I swear everytime I see one of your vids I learn something new. I like how you used a box end wrench to get your bend on your brake hard line, brilliant brother! This sort of thing is why these vids are so important to us truck guys that love the hobby and do our own work.

[@rudyflores9395]

Funny how you make it look so easy sir. The other thing is how every nut just comes undone like nothing. I did my front lines on my 79 C-10 & with awesome shty luck every thing broke. I told my C-10 how it going to get crushed & made into box springs & bed rails I also learned me some new Cuss words in different tongues. Had to wait a few days to finish due to getting my yearly test on my pacemaker O well now that I finished I can't get fluid to flow to the lines. I was told to replace the Master cylinder hopefully that's what's wrong now. Bueno sir from TX. standing by for the next video.

[@MikeyMack303]

Great tip on bending the brake lines. Thank you.

[@hardtail-gy8dk]

After fitting line 1531+ times on the short line 😂 it must of been a million times easier to install them on the chassis at the factory than replacing them on an assembled vehicle, did my Dmax last year what a pain

[@jkimpala6651]

Nice job on the brakes. Hadnt thought of grinding the rivets off to remove the drum. Usually just pull the outer bearing and take off the hub with it. Keep on keepin on!

[@dustinsirrine227]

That's what I've been doing since 2016 on my 63 C10 front drums when replacing brake shoes, as I get older those old brake drums get very heavy, so I'm grinding off those cold rivets this summer finally🎉... It's going to be fun... Keep On Trucking Brother👍...

[@justinmeisenhelder-gz8id]

Love the videos! I’ve been looking for a video just like this to keep me going. I’m on redoing brake lines now and had nothing to go off of. THANK YOU

[@dustinsirrine227]

Looking Great, my 63 C10 still has those pain in the butt cold rivets in the brake drums, hope to get them off this summer? Brake Lines look great, looking forward to your next video, waiting to see you do another front Windshield Brother Gibs. Stay safe and may God continue to bless you and Big Daddy and your family each day Brother Gibs. Keep On Trucking Brother Gibs👍...

Take the whole hub off. Super easy.

[@sinistersilverado965]

you're a pro at drum brakes

[@adriantomlin2902]

Drum brakes are pretty straight forward.

[@raymondtrotter4655]

Thanks again for the great lesson on this time BRAKE LINES.Ill be getting to mine soon on 61' and 62'. They're really not that complicated just time consuming up and down. Loved the wrench technique for bending the line. Oh and wrong way to loosen, yeah, we've all done that a time or two. Liked you didn't edit it out cause we all do make mistakes. 😊 I just bought a used 61' big back window cab,doors,hood for $500 for my Apache Stepside. Im applying all your lessons to memory to use on my build. Thanks for sharing and all you do Mr. Steve Gibson. Love your lessons. Keep em coming Truck Driver Ray . Oh and beautiful dog. Blessings to you and your family ✝️

[@DarrylzssDarrylG]

Hi Steve. Those old, original brakes are always rusty and nasty, but a overhaul makes them work just fine. My next project on my 64 is a dual master and maybe disc on front. Catch you next video.

[@neodome]

Thank you so much for the video. Got a 61 Apache I need to replace the breaks on and im very intimidated to try it. I am not very mechanicaly inclined so I hope I can do it

[@jimbowles1988]

Nice to see you using the “cotton picker tooth” punch on the drum rivets. Still use mine and it’s over 50 years old. I’m surprised the drums were still useable.

[@Gibson63.]

Drums are still in great shape, got three of these cotton picking punches had for 30 years or more it’s my go to punch lol

[@mironeko3820]

Nice be job on the binders. Hope the E brake wasn't too bad.

[@Gibson63.]

E brakes worked fine just forgot to mention that

[@mironeko3820]

@@Gibson63. Good deal

[@randylatiolais-hl7bj]

Yea working on old trucks sometimes you have to test fit pieces 1531+ times lol I know all too well about that my daughter goes in the house and tell my wife daddy’s mad again lol

[@EngTecher]

On the blue truck, what size tires does it have? 15 x 8 rims? Good info on brakes.

[@Gibson63.]

15x7 on front 15x8 on rear

[@Gibson63.]

Tires 255/60/15 all the way around

[@robkeller3431]

Great video! Glad to see you working on a newtruck! Did you sell the red one?

[@dustinsirrine227]

Are you not keeping the spare tire rack Brother Gibs? Those are very hard to find these day's $$... I noticed you replaced the driver's side Motor Mount, where both Motor Mounts bad? Stay safe my friend, God bless you and your family each day... Keep On Trucking Brother Gibs👍...

[@Gibson63.]

Yes going to keep the spare tire rack just going to replace the two bolts on the ends, on the motor mount bracket I just added two more bolts that were missing

[@dustinsirrine227]

It almost seems like someone was wanting to pull the Engine at one time with the Trany Z-Bar part's, Exchust Manifold Pipe and the Motor Mount and other small part's taken off ? After 30 years of being in one place almost anything could have happened to that 63 C10 Pickup. It's in good hands now with you Brother Gibs, it will last another 30 years and possibly outlast a few more generations. Stay safe my friend, God bless... Keep On Trucking Brother Gibs👍...

[@MrFireman164]

Looks good

[@number7__879]

Yes Sir!!!

[@beauepperson2641]

I bought new wheel cylinders for the rear and they didn’t come with the pieces that pop out and move the shoes. Should I reuse my old ones?

@@beauepperson2641 I had to reuse my old ones before as long as there in good shape

Si que eres un mecánico amigo gibs. El de pistones y cintas de freno, junto con las cañerías. Pero no encuentro el video de la parte mecánica del embrague a reparar. En que video sale gracias gibs 👌🇦🇷 argentina.

[@adriantomlin2902]

Well that should tell ya something if the factory rivets are still on those front drums!! Wow!

[@Telephony954]

Looks like you didn't have to deal with the E brake cables on this one. wont be long now. Be well

[@Gibson63.]

Forgot to mention the Ebrake i finished greasing up the cables today they work fine

[@Telephony954]

Man I tell ya, you really pulled my goods outta the ringer on my 63 by watching one of your previous builds, where you gave up the part numbers and Ideas. And I still appreciate the heck outta that. thank you again.@@Gibson63.

Gibson, what state are you in?

Watch his old videos on the other 63 C10 builds and you will hear Brother Gibs tell you, plus you can look at his license plate and find out. Keep On Trucking Brother👍...

Tennessee

[@dustinsirrine227]

@Gibson63. The Great State that has many more nice 63 C10's hidden in old barns and barn yard's. Thanks for sharing all your 63 C10 finds with all of us out here in Video Land Brother Gibs. Keep On Trucking Brother Gibs👍...

[@davemcnary3116]

Gibson: Buy some brake tools😅😅😅

[@Gibson63.]

Love doing it the old-fashioned way lol

[@eugeneguzman2553]

you suppose to bleed the brakes by bleeding the first furthest from the master cylinder first. the the second third and last its suppose look like a Z.

[@erichudson1772]

It’s a whole lot easier to take the wheel bearing lock nut off and repack the bearings while you’re at it. Just sayin. Good job though.
