Joey's 1969 KL60 in Texas

[JoeyS]

Here's mine. I bought it probably 12 years ago. I found it near Tyler, TX and bought it as a project. It only has 21k original miles on it, but it needs a lot of work. For the first year I owned it, I used it for hauling stuff around my property, but it stopped running (and stopped stopping) and I have not had time to mess with it in a very long time. I need to convert it to disk brakes, and probably need to replace the rear axle with a stock one (I believe it is a Toyota axle now) and it needs a ton of body work.

Welcome to 60Patrol! Long time no see! We'll be happy to help you get that Patrol back into shape, running and stopping. Why do you need to go with disk brakes? Wheel cylinders are easily available now on eBay.

I guess when I was first messing wit the truck it was near impossible to find brake parts. If I stick with the drums I'm pretty sure I will need a total rebuild. Spring rusted and broken, cylinders and cups all pitted, shoes separating, hard lines missing and or pinched off, pretty sure the master cylinder is shot. I'd be more than happy to stay with the stock brakes, but looks like a monumental task.

It does sounds like a big task, but you'd have to do all that plus going with disk brakes. Cylinders and shoes are readily available, the rest can be sourced or rebuilt.
