CHEVROLET 3/4 TON REAR BRAKES AND WHEEL BEARINGS | 1981 Squarebody K20

In this video I introduce you all to a project that I’ve only shared on Instagram! It’s my 1981 Chevy 3/4 ton 4x4 flatbed. I bought this truck from a neighbor last year. The rear brakes on this truck were completely non-functioning. I have my suspicions that the brake bleeder screws were mistaken for grease zerks. I also figured I would change out the axle bearings and seals while I had the brakes apart. Turns out the passenger side wheel bearing was toast. The axle is the semi-floating 9.5” 14 bolt. I replaced and cleaned the entire rear brake system. Wheel cylinders, brake shoes, brake hardware kit, parking brake cables, brake hose, one drum was turned and one had to be replaced.
