Starting on the body and brakes.
I've got a lot of time on my hands right now. So decide to go ahead and starte on the old rusty body. Its going to be a tedious project. But the only thing side lining the M-715 is a leaking front drivers side brake. Plan on pulling the drum off this week, and see whats leaking. Wish me luck. Hopefully it won't take all of my money.

Be sure to mark which drum goes on which corner. It apparently matters!

Will, right now it only looks like one drum is leaking. Just hoping its going to be a easy fix. Unlike my 79 J-10, which I still can't find where the rear brake fluide is going.

You have to bolt the hub into the brake lathe and then the drum to the hub to get them turned in most cases. Several of us have found that using one hub to turn all 4 drums gives you a case of the bobble head stops afterwards.
This happened to me after my students and I had turned my drums with one hub as the mount. We did it again with the same hub and had tremendous run out on the drums we had just turned a day or so before. I had them put a hub on the lathe, mount the matching drum in all three possible ways and measure the run out. The location with the least run out was marked on the drum and hub and then the drum was turned. We did this with each drum and hub all around the truck and the drums/hubs from my spare set of axles.
As long as I line the marks up, I have smooth brakes. I can feel it if they are not on the correct bolt.
We did the same with Agengr's truck a month or so ago and had good success.
I would suggest treating the drum/hub as an assembly that needs to be kept together and marked as to which of the 3 different ways it can go together.
Your results may vary. That is just my experience.
Remember if you didn't build it you can't call it yours.

Makes good sense, as they would seem to be sort of mated to their respective hubs. I kept mine in the same place, but I turned them one at a time, as I serviced them, so swapping wasn't an issue.

Hearing this for the first time.

The manual actually states that the drum and hub should remain indexed to each other...
