68 C10 Brake Help
I've got a 68 C10 drums all round. I put all new parts hoses, springs, pads, and wheel cyclinders. I can bleed them and get a good firm pedal no bubbles from the bleeder then it sets overnight and the pedal goes almost to the floor. I pump it a few times and get an OK pedal. Bleed it again and get a good pedal. then the same thing after it sets overnight. Do I still have air in the lines and just need to keep bleeding or start looking for another problem? I never had a problem with the soft pedal till I replaced all of guts. I replaced because the pads and drums were worn out and just decided to do it all while i was in there.

Re: 68 C10 Brake Help
Either you still have air in the lines(best guess) or the MC is going.I would go with air first because you didn't have the issue before the replacements.How much fluid have you pumped thru it?

Re: 68 C10 Brake Help
I'm with panel, since you replaced everything there is probably just a ton of air in the system, double check all of your fittings and keep bleeding it, if after another few times of it still nit working then I would look to parts as the issue.

Re: 68 C10 Brake Help
Thanks for the help guys! This is all new to me but this is the best way to learn I think, by doing it.
