Sounds like alot of good advice here but I'll throw in my knowledge on
the subject too. I used the "sticky backed" gauge resurfacing decals
on my truck about 28 years ago and they were easy to apply without
water. They still look beautiful today. I see the value though in
using a little moisture
I spoke to a machine shop and they suugested that first I call and
see if perhaps parts were missing. I called Chevy Duty and was told
that that's how they fit, nothing missing and they would be fine.
This winter, I'll take my parts to a machine shop and see if they can
be made to fit better.
I painted my letters on with two coats of acrylic enamel. If any one is
interested I will post a picture.

I adjust up snug to the point I can't turn the wheel; then back off
a smidge (one or two clicks.) This is too close if you're going to
park it over winter as the drums can rust to the brake lining.
Air will drive you crazy. When you bleed, start with the furthest
wheel from the master cylinder;
I feel that disc front brakes is the way to go with any midsize truck,
but that may be counter to 'keep it stock'? Some kits even have metal
covers that make them look like brake drums. If you convert, you might
consider putting the used 8-lug drums on eBay. ...bill

Thanks for that info, Janice. Nice to see how the pros do it! Looks like
we're on the right track with the water and dishwashing liquid.
