Hey guys, I finally got my '46 back on the road and completed two test drives. When I returned on this last drive I could not push or roll the truck once in the garage. E-brake was off. I probable adjusted the brakes to tight to start with, so I backed off the adjustment and followed the shop manual. All four wheels were spinning. I hopped in the cab and pushed on the brake pedal a few times and it is stiff. Then, I went to spin the front wheels and no go - they are tight again. I re-adjusted both fronts and then pushed on the brake pedal and the same thing, wheel is very tough to spin. Back wheels seem to spin OK. Do you think this is a brake master cylinder issue? Maybe the master cylinder is not releasing the pressure? My brake pedal is very stiff from the start. No inch of free play - feels like it's pushing hard right from the start. I'm going to let it sit for an hour and try to spin the front tires again to see it maybe there will be a pressure loss. Any ideas are very much appreciated.
Note: I am using the original master cylinder. I cleaned it, honed it and installed a new rebuild kit.
