Good call, would like to see some pictures of your new tires, i will probably be forced to buy one or two new ones eventually. These are the dukw tires i presume.

got a couple of new tires inbound so I started breaking down a couple of old crappy ones to get the rims ready, first one broke down way to easy, bet the second one won't be that nice.:roll:
I guess i should have been more clear, when i say usual place i should have been more specific . The bleeder is on the front of the wheel cylinder instead of the back. I will include a couple of pictures when i get home tonight .
Of course we would all like to see some pictures of your truck.
The shoes are the same as 715, bleeder is in the usual location. Rubber brake lines and wheel cylinders are available from Saturn surplus, might also check with Red River in texarkana

Finally making noise and smoke! Still got a few little problems, small oil, water and fuel leak but I am pretty happy to hear it run. Probably her first extended run in 30 years, this engine anyway.
