I was all set to upload a big batch of pics, but I had a bit of a mishap with the camera card. If I can recover it, I'll post them.
-
Making good progress, but likely no pics until tomorrow. Heading back out there shortly.
-
Thanks. I'll keep the pics coming until the project is over.
-
You KNOW I like this. Nice find.

Making progress despite having to completely strip and refinsh the booster. Here are the (almost) up to the minute pics:
-
Falling farther in with this project, I decided to service the rear diff and replace the axle seals while i'm so far into this - it would be a hassle to do afterward. So I drained the diff and pulled the cover, removed the center pin and pulled the driver's side axle. This allowed me to completely remove the backing plate on that side, it and the diff cover will be getting prepped, primed and painted. Took some pics along the way, will post when I get the chance.

I used Brakleen (spelling?). That's it. I skipped it on the booster and now have some flaws to fix. It looked so clean... Had other things on the agenda today, back to this tomorrow.

Yeah, bad wheel cylinders make an awful mess.
-
Actually there is very little rust, the pics just make it stand out. Nothing more than surface rust anywhere, and there is still a good bit of factory paint left on the backing plate! Not bad for 214,000 miles and nearly 20 years! But the master cylinder and driver's side wheel cylinder are toast - so it's overhaul time Camino style. Might even do the axle seals and change the gear oil in the rear.

Today's pics, no time to caption them tonight.
-
Began this project today, pics coming soon.
-
The calipers are recent, and I can't remember if they were painted or not. Should be just pads up front - but there will be some painting during this episode.
-
Tough luck on the wheel cylinder non-availability. Where will you get them sleeved?

Last part for the brake overhaul portion of this project arrived today. The work will commence on my next free day.

Love the SK references. That particular car was a one of one with a manual trans...
-
Mine will surely be aged to perfection whenever it finally hits the road again.

-
Still waiting on few parts.
-
This kind of thing just gets me steamed. Such lowlifes those thieves are.
-
Parts are on their way, I'll post when the fun begins.
-
Don't get me wrong, I'd really like to visit out there!
-
Love this! Glad to see a fun project thread without spending my own money and getting greasy!
-
It was me that was looking. I saw that listing and really thought about it. Thing is, that's the earlier style with the wrong fuel fillers (I'd have to get different fenders and fuel fillers to make it work). That, and I have two new GM fleetside bedsides for my truck already. Still, I thought about it...
