Funny how I can’t remember the name of things when the camera is rolling. 🤪 My camera presence is getting better with time. I cringe at my older content. 🤣
Thanks! The memories will last much long than the truck. No doubt! Thanks for watching and for the kind words! PS it’s harder to remember what things are called when the camera is rolling. 🤷🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
It's amazing to look back and see how far we've come. We were just talking about that yesterday! New videos coming, you'll be amazed at the progress! Clue - We've got license plates!!! 😮
about a month behind. Had a lot going on and didn't have time to edit for a while. Good news is.... I'm now a GRANDPA! A healthy baby girl named Indi. He is beautiful!
Loving the series. How I learned is much the same. Pre-internet it was service manuals. Multiple sources on the project. If you've got the book, especially factory manuals, you can probably tackle it. Now with the internet, videos, more manuals, specific forums and taking lots of pictures and video during the job. Also planning ahead if you can to source parts to avoid the usual chain retailers. Their stuff seems to be premium price and lowest quality. Rock auto is my best friend but watch the shipping costs. And this video reminds me how much I hate doing drum brakes. I have two rear brake jobs needing done this spring and I'm dreading it.
Thanks for the kind words. The school of self taught is slow but so valuable. My first drum brake job was a disaster. I put the adjuster lever on the wrong sides so basically it never tightened. I had ZERO rear brakes. I had to pull it all apart and start over. Learned a lot that weekend! 🤦🏼♂️
You should buy a 3.5 gallon bucket of Evapo-rust. That stuff works wonders on removing rust from various types of steel and does not have an corrosive properties and doesnt harm the metal. I swear by it!
I’ve done this style brake drums and it took me 30 minutes due to some complications. Another pro tip u do not need to take any aprons off the get a wheel cylinder on if u forget to put it together. And the hold down springs are a pain in the ass
We considered it, but the build had SOOOO FAR to go we opted to save some money here for other more desperately needed items. Still have a long way to go and it's been over a year! Keep watching, more episodes in the making!
Use a torque wrench on those rims. A) You could damage the rims. B) You might not get them off on the side of the road. Thanks for the video. I have to do my '79 F250 soon.
You do this often enough you get to know your tools. For the average Joe, you are correct. But I’ve done enough work with this wrench to know exactly how far to go. If anything they are gonna need a hand tighten soon. Thanks though! 🙌🏼
Thats so awesome!!! Im so glad its actually moving on its own now. :) The stop at the stop sign seemed a bit rough though. Was that a brake issue or a driver issue?
A break issue! Kinda scary actually. You'll see in an upcoming video that we had to bleed the rear brake lines again. Found a great tool for helping with this to completely eliminate the need for 2 people. And now the brakes are solid!
Found a master kit thanks the cables were included but there proud of it of course they just don’t sell the e brake cables individually.mine were completely broke
18" Cherry Bombs that I put on 20 years ago. We are looking at eventually putting headers on to help wake the engine up a little more. Already did a basic "smog delete" but still need to remove some of the stranglers under the hood as well. There's only so much that can done to a 351M, but we'll take advantage of what we can.
DIY Home and Auto nice 👍 I recently put long tube headers on my regular cab and it was a pain! The studs or bolts on the exhaust manifolds are so hard to get off without snapping them off.
DIY Home and Auto yeah I like them though I think it was worth the struggle lol! Just use lots of heat if you got a torch and PB blaster. Idk where the starter is on your engine but I had to bend my headers so they weren’t tight on the starter.
It all depends on how handy you are and how much time and money you are willing to put into a project. It’s a lot of work. It’s expensive. But I think the education and experience is worth it. It is for me at least. 🤷🏼♂️
They are called wheel cylinders, not that it really maters. There is a tool that lets you compress the spring and twist the retainer disc to remove it. If you do another set let me know then you wont risk that little dist flying at your eyes.
Just a safety tip. Take off your ring when working on a vehicle, you could lose a finger, take your watch off too because it could get caught on whatever your working on!
My ring is a silicone ring I got from Amazon in a 6 pack so I can change colors. I've already saved my finger by wearing these silicone ones. Here's the link for anyone who needs to follow this advice: amzn.to/2rmsriW
Those are called Rear Hub Brake Cylinders.Great Videos.I am working on a the Brakes on a 1978 Ford F250 with a 460 Motor with a racing cam in it

It’s called a brake cylinder. Lol. I love your videos thanks for the content. It’s great to see you and your sons working together. Keep it up!
Thanks! The memories will last much long than the truck. No doubt! Thanks for watching and for the kind words! PS it’s harder to remember what things are called when the camera is rolling. 🤷🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
Brake cylinder…is y the cylinder in the fire wall call master cylinder 👍
Wheel cylinder*, brake cylinder is another name for the master cylinder
This is great man-knowledge for your son. Excellent vid
Happy to see it on its own power!!! Congratulations guys!

@@troysgarage how old are these videos? Couple months?
about a month behind. Had a lot going on and didn't have time to edit for a while. Good news is.... I'm now a GRANDPA! A healthy baby girl named Indi. He is beautiful!
@@troysgarage hey that's amazing! Congratulations!!
Love this man
Thanks. That means a lot. 🙌🏼
Love this project my f100 is coming together nicely
Nice! Can’t wait to see the truck all finished.
Thanks Kelly! It’s gonna be a long road but a fun labor of love! 👍🏼

I’ll look into that. Still have a ton of rust on the cab. 😱

Drum brakes are the WORST! I’m sure I’ll be doing this on my new 66 F250 as well. Watch for “Wallace the 66” videos coming this summer!
Good channel. When the rear brakes need replacing consider a disk conversion kit.
We considered it, but the build had SOOOO FAR to go we opted to save some money here for other more desperately needed items. Still have a long way to go and it's been over a year! Keep watching, more episodes in the making!
It's called a ..Wheel cylinder. Good video Man
Easy to think of when the camera isn’t rolling! Being a TH-camr is harder than you think! 😜 Thank for the kind words and taking time to comment! 🙌🏼

The backing plate where the shoes mount should be flat and lubed
Wow how a tire and wheel make a difference
Changed the whole look of the truck didn’t it? 😻
Hells yea
They are wheel cylinders 😁
Hahaha, now you tell me!!! Where were you a month ago when I recorded this???? 😜They look like barrels to me! lol
They are slave cylinders
Slave cylinder is on the transmission if it’s hydraulic
What wheels and tires did you use?
Thats so awesome!!! Im so glad its actually moving on its own now. :) The stop at the stop sign seemed a bit rough though. Was that a brake issue or a driver issue?

@@troysgarage Awesome! I cant wait to see it. :)
Muy bien amigo l like too much,i have a ford f250 77costom am in LA.
Ok where did you get that hardware kit I need the inner e brake small cable?
Came with the springs kit we ordered. Pretty sure that came from RockAuto.com.
Found a master kit thanks the cables were included but there proud of it of course they just don’t sell the e brake cables individually.mine were completely broke
@@robperkins2674 yup that’s how it works. But you’ll have spare parts for DAYS!!!! 😜🤷🏼♂️
Is there a special socket for that rear hub nut?
No. But I can’t remember off the top of my head what size it is. But is just used standard SAE sockets for all the work on the truck so far. 🤷🏼♂️
Oven cleaner is a great grease and dirt cleaner .
I’ve heard that. Now I just need to try it out myself! Pro Tip!!! 🙌🏼
Sounds good is it just straight piped?

Yikes! Maybe I won’t touch it then. They are rusted really bad! 😱

There's a '73 F-250 for sale near me. The only problem is it has a bad transmission. Do you guys think it's still a good idea to buy?

@@troysgarage Alright!! Thank you
Wheel cylinders
Brake Cylinder
You are correct. 🤣
The barrel things are wheel cylinders
Now you tell me! Haha, where were you 9 months ago? 😝
Just started watch sorry man lol I go to school for automotive repair
Already watched all 18 episode can’t wait to see more

I should have invited you over for the brake party! If/when there's another chance I'll be sure to let you know. Thanks Jack!
@@troysgarage I'm kind of glad you didn't you were way too dirty for me.:)
Haha, it was a messy job!
They are wheel cylinders
Yeah I know now that the camera isn’t on. 🤦🏼♂️ The pressure is just too much sometimes. 😜
The wheel cylinder......
Yeah that... the barrel thingy. 😜🤣
@@troysgarage "pro tip"

I know now. But when the camera is rolling. 🤷🏼♂️ Sometimes I just draw a blank. I tend to just roll with it so you have to get used to that. Hahaha
