Check and re-check the brake adjustment on all wheels; I adjust the shoes to just touch the brake drum, then back off a click or two. Then rotate the drum around 360 degrees to make sure the shoe is not dragging anywhere.
I believe that if you can pump it up, it has air in the system .somewhere. I know you'd bleed starting from the furthest wheel first.

First push goes almost all the way to floor but after I pump a few times I have good brake pedal. I have recently put a new kit in master cylinder with no luck. Master cylinder has been sleeved before so may have excess wear. I bench bled before installation and have bled all the wheel cylinders. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. If I need a new MC anyone have any thoughts on where. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ Ole Chevy and GMC trucks rule!
