You did it just about the same as I would. I would check ball joints and tie rods beforehand and do it all at once. Might save a bit of time. Nice job!
@UglyTruckExperience2 жыл бұрын
We did replace the ball joints fairly recently, but I knew there was something funky in the front end. If I was smart, I would have had all new tie rods sitting here... especially since it's sitting on an alignment lift! 🤣 Thanks for watching!

It's hard to get the Ugly Trucks into the shop, so I had to sneak it in on the alignment lift. 🤣 We do need to get a bearing packer one of these days... It would have saved some time on this job for sure! Thanks for hanging out! --Emily

When replacing both calipers always remember to put the bleeder on top if the caliper' s do not have the L-R. Also a great time to grease your ball joints and other suspension points.

Yes, it is definitely easier to bleed the brakes when the bleeder is at the top! 😁 Thanks for watching! --Emily

My dream truck I’ve been wanting a 67/72 and can’t find anything worth fixing. I don’t know how you folks are so lucky. But pm me if you get one that is good enough to just drive every day with a smile on my face. I am disabled but I can work on vehicles but I’ll get my son to help with heavy stuff but I’ve done those brakes several times. But it’s got to be a good price for me and I don’t mind extra air conditioning I can patch it. But it’s the wood bed floors that get me but hay if it’s my dream truck or car and its priced right I can figure it out. But at 53 years old it’s probably going to be a pipe dream? But it’s in God’s hands. God bless you and I love watching your channel because you are truly like me getting it running and test drive it. People would think I’m crazy because if I ever get my dream truck and car I honestly know I will have a big stupid smile while driving it around.

Nice job! You can also use the nut to pop out the rear bearing and seal…pop out the outer bearing, put the nut back on a couple turns, pull downward on the rotor slightly. You want to hook the inner bearing on the nut. At which point you pull on the rotor like you were using a slidehammer. The rotor comes off and your inner bearing and seal are hanging on the spindle…remove the nut, bearing and seal…I’ve done this thousands of times before everything became a floating rotor design…thanks! PS torque your caliper pins to 38ft/lbs…

Emily, I have a 68 C10, with four wheel drum brakes. Do you think I could fit the same conversion kit from a 72 onto my truck
@UglyTruckExperienceАй бұрын
Hi Augie! We didn't really use a "kit" on this truck. It originally had 4 wheel drum also, and we just installed spindles from a 72 C10. These are just stock replacement rotors and pads for a 72. The tie rods and center link are also different for a 72, but we made the 1970 tie rods work on this truck for now. It's a pretty common swap for these trucks, so there should be a ton of info out there. We need to do the same to our 68 C10, Frankenstein, and will have a video about it then. Hope this helps and thanks for watching! --Emily
