The truck had never rolled easily, and when I tried to winch it, I realized that the rear brakes were over-tight. So I pulled them to clean/inspect, and sandblasted/painted the drums. Both wheel cylinders were leaking, rusted, and seized; and one cable wouldn't move. I washed everything before disassembly, which made the process easier (to see AND handle) and cleaner. Most of the hardware got sandblasted & clearcoated, except the colored springs.
