Nice! Dig the classic stock look.

Good part is, you have a Chevy and it seems like the 3/4 ton bow tie caps are the most plentiful and least expensive.
Front 4wd caps with the knockout are harder to find for sure. Dunno if yours is a 4wd or not. But out here in the land of a lot of clean Squares I hit up all the want adds for a year or more with no success for the front caps. Buddy found a set at the neighbors garage sale!
Found this joint. It'll be one of the last things I get.

Problem is, I still ain’t got ‘em! Short of monkeying around with the proportioning valve, everything has been touched. Finally have a good pedal feel, just no stopping. ‍♂️. I dunno. It’s cold, I’m pissed off. Going in the house to pout.

Do you have them adjusted right? I have mine adjusted just to rub the drum slightly when you spin the tire by hand.

Takes 2 to do this. One presses on the brake pedal while the other checks the hoses (3) for swelling.

Your adjuster is all the way in in that pic. Did you roll the adjuster out until you could feel it dragging? Might just not be adjusted right.
