I finally decided to shed some weight from the truck, and improve the brakes on the 78 Chevy p/u.

What I started with:

Rear disc brake conversion

I had trouble bleeding the brakes, and I had a bad valve.  So I replaced the valve and finally bleed the brakes.  It all work awesome,  major improvement.

Location: Outer Mongolia		Very nice. I love how clean and simple disk brakes are compared to drums. I hate drum brakes!

Location: Anywhere my toys take me.		The test run on the disc brakes was good this weekend,  Detroit run.  Stopping was not a problem with me this wheeling trip, before they were dragging in the rear, and the fronts were working overtime when I would loosen up the adjusters on the rear brakes.  Now everything works properly, it was also nice to have brakes after the creek crossing.
