Hello all! I recently started a project getting a '80? GMC Sierra 1500 back on the road. So far the only things I'm still having issues with is a front brake sticking on, and no headlights... Lol, so I'm sure I will have some questions to post in the next week or so...

I've gotten some ideas as to where to look next from reading older posts so that's awesome! Appreciate the forum and this great pool of wisdom!

Welcome from the Tarheel State. Look for a collapsed brake hose on the sticky brakes & kick the dimmer switch a few times to wake the headlamps.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! The headlight problem dose seem to be the dimmer switch, seems like the easy thing to do is put in a floor switch as it's pretty tough to get at the one on the column...
The brakes seem to be a bit more work to deal with, old flare nuts stuck to the line here, damaged shoulders on nuts there... You know the drill I'm sure... Lol. If I can't get 'er figured soon I will make a post with a more complete breakdown of the issue.
