Brakes

From the 1980 Chevrolet Light Truck Service Manual

Brakes for 1980 C, K, G and P trucks. All models have a split dual hydraulic system with a dual master cylinder, single-piston sliding front disc calipers and duo-servo self-adjusting rear drums, or rear discs with the JF9 option; all but JF9 trucks use a combination metering and warning-switch valve. Diagnosis covers road testing and Hydro-Boost booster function and accumulator leakdown tests. On-vehicle service covers pedal travel, stop light switch, bleeding (including Hydro-Boost), pipes and hoses, parking brake and propshaft brake, master cylinder, Delco and Bendix disc pads, caliper overhaul, rotors, drum shoes, wheel cylinders, vacuum booster and Hydro-Boost unit.
