I know it is going to be a major undertaking. Fortunately the truck is straight with only one or two real small dents to fix. I am trying to...

I do plan to do that. I'm not sure if I want to take it down to bare metal but it will probably look better if I do. If I do take it down to bare...

Thanks guys, I was afraid of that. I'll get to work on it and see what I can do Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I have replacement drums. I will be cutting the other side. I just need to figure out how to get the hub off and replace that plate that the shoes...
