    Rear brake bleeding struggles

    On my 73 C30, I just replaced everything. I first just tried to bleed them but same as you nothing would come out. Everything was rusted and dirty and after I took the drums off I realized it needed a complete rebuild. It looked like they had worn the shoes down to the rivets at some point...

    73 C30 C&C Wheel Stud Replacement

    It's a single wheel hub. I think you're right, it should be ok, the only issue is that the 1/2" of the new stud will not fill up the hole in the hub. Thought it may not have the support it needs and could crack. I'll drive them in and take a picture on the weekend and post to show what i mean.

    73 C30 C&C Wheel Stud Replacement

    I have a 73 C30 cab and chassis that I'm rebuilding. The lug nuts were hard to get off so I decided to replace them while i replace the rear drums, shoes and rebuild the brakes. I can't find the exact right replacement for the wheel studs. The closest ones I found were listed for a 73 C20 -...

    I6 to V8 transition

    I just bought a 73 Chevy C20. Based on the VIN it originally had a 292 I6 but the guy I bought it from put in a 350. On my 66 mustang, when you go from I6 to V8 a lot of suspension parts need to change as well also the rear end and the spindles etc. Is that the case with these trucks? Do I...
