Thank you old GMC gold, I did that today and here's what I found out, after bleeding the MC and all bubbles were gone I started to pump the brakes and I heard a blow out, looked under the truck and fluid was leaking, just under the harmonic balancer, I removed the line to see a ware spot that most likely was sucking air and leaking, there was fluid in the channel that was not leaking on the floor before but there was a pool there in the channel, I made a new line and installed it and then started over, I bled the wheel cyls.as 3B told me and I still didn't have the peddle that I wanted so I checked again the shoes as Don said and they were not that snug so I adjusted them again and like magic I had a peddle like new!.... the 39 COE has brakes! Thank all of you guys for all your help! I will be driving this truck out of my shop tomorrow if its not raining,,,I will try and get a video of it driving out, its been over 30 years or more since it has been driving! Saving another old truck feels great!!!! Dan
