Default I have rear brakes!

It's been sitting for 3 years and I made it a point to get the 64 Amazon Wagon drivable. I had pretty much no braking power. Super stiff pedal and zero stopping power. So I replaced the drums, shoes, brake cylinders, parking brake cables, brake master cylinder and all the brake hardware. Had some issues bleeding the system but the bleeder screws were letting air in so used a bit of teflon tape and got the system bled, adjusted the brakes and now I have rear brakes. Next step, onto the fronts. I bought a single circuit front disc brake system to do a conversion from the front drums.
