GMC Motorhome: Ruby has brakes

No use doing this work until the coach starts to move……. Systems will fail just sitting so its Ruby’s time for its slippers.  Here is her rear suspension, bearings, brakes and shocks.   and of course the front wheels with new bearings, brakes, shocks, control arms, etc. .  we are replacing EVERYTHING in the brake system, steel lines and all.  The booster presented a problem….1 of the 4 grade 8 lock nuts holding the booster was stripped out ‘ another present from GM’ s prototype guys.    good thing we have a plasma cutter and grinding wheels….we cut apart the original vacuum booster from the outside in!  Hadta happen.  Jared just loves this kinda stuff.  and just like that…..A la…peanut butter sandwiches …..its out   .cleaned up then painter we’re ready to get one of out sensitized boosters in...stay tuned………

Were using out 66 Toro checkout stand once more to run in this fresh 455 roller motor with factory coat.   had not considered the good looking original metallic blue Olds colors……I like that!    Plillip should be running this motor on the ground today……The red neck lullabye …..a big block running on the ground……..stay tuned!

Scott C. asked what the plan was for the Redman motorized chair…..well the last skunk Works project yielded this. who KNOWS what the next project will come out with…..here, hold my beer………
