I finally fixed my front brakes. New pads and rotors (plus wheel bearings). While that did solve my brake pedal pulsation, I still have a vibration in the cab when braking. I will need to resurface my drums since they are likely warped as well.

I also tried to figure out why my speedometer stopped working. I removed the cable from the transmission and spun it with a drill. The speedometer moved, but it was very bouncy. It was bouncy prior to it not working at all so I know that problem is between the cable and the speedometer.

I also removed the speedometer driven gear and the gear adjuster from the transmission. What I found was that the gear adjuster was seized and the rod that connects it to the driven gear was sheared. I got the adjuster freed up by melting out all the old grease, but I will need to figure out how to replace the rod that sits between them. I wasn't able to get a good look at the speedo drive gear, but I can bring my borescope home from work to check that out.
