Can't drive it without Brakes, Chevrolet C1500 Overhaul

- As exciting as it was to first start up my vintage Chevy Pickup, I can't even try if it will drive, unless it has a braking system.
Unfortunately neither the front, nor rear brakes work. The first step to changing that is to install some new brake lines and wheel cylinders, as well as preparing the rusty backing plate.
I'm sharing much of the process here.

Today I learnt how to flare a break line 👌
Cool! I knew always wanted to 😉👍. Thanks Jen ♥
Great work, Jorge. As for the flare kit, I used one almost exactly like that one for years on fuel and brake lines. Is there a way to put a little something across from the cutting wheel on the tube cutter? Bent washer maybe? That would give the cutting wheel more reach.
It worked simply by pushing the line further in, which made it kind of drag on the tool, but it still cut. 👍
Hmmm; talking in inches, just like us Americans. I guess that must be because 1) some things were easier for the bureaucrats to switch over to metric, than others, and 2) you're of the generation that, similarly to me when I did some of my longest visits to Canada in the mid-'70s when the switchover was happening, noticed that all of the Canadians that I talked to were ignoring the switchover too and keeping on talking in miles.
Anything involving building something is usually inches for me. Distances by bike, walking or car is usually kilometres though. I was brought up in Germany, so all metric. But a lot of the stuff we get in Canada is simply the same as in the US. A sheet of plywood, or metal, or anything at all, is still 8' x 4'.
American iron turning Chinese one repair at a time.......
That's the truth. If you're rich you can buy AC Delco, but I'm not even sure their parts are all made in the US.
