[QUOTE="wornoutupser, post: 1046865, member: 2196"] Brownmonster, I do not know how things are where you work, but in my center we still have many of these old GM junkers. The biggest complaint that I have ever had against these truck is that the handbrake will NOT hold the vehicle- and I work in a mostly flat area of Florida. Looking at the slant of the road here i could almost promise that any of our older trucks would roll even with the handbrake on. We just crushed an old P8 that could have all new handbrake parts put in-tightened all the way down- and would roll off on nearly flat ground. The mechanic at that time told me that the surface area of the brake drum was not large enough to hold the weight of the vehicle. Drivers including myself wrote it up over and over again.........
