Brakes have not needed done?

Does your state require emissions testing?
Truck has just shy of a quarter-million. Two sets of tires. One brake job (maintenance category, not repair; re-line only). Original clutch. The $500 was u-joints, a blower fan, and an ignition switch plus some misc. Oil changes at $120 are 15k/light duty or one year. Towing/heavy/high heat at 7500.

Truck has always been emissions-exempt.

Time is now the problem (with high heat). Age. Dry rot.
