Adjusted the rear brakes so that I had enough parking brake to keep her still on a 35% indcline. Was all set for a Father's Day drive. Fired her up and the brake pedal went clear to the floor - no resistance. The brake/master cylinder assembly is original 54 chevy 3100 stuff. I cannot see any fluid under the truck and the brakes worked great before my parking brake cable job. I didn't touch the front by the way. I plan on pulling the rear drums this week to re-check. Any suggestions what I should look at/for?? I didn't look at the front since I was planning on having a local brake shop rebuild everything (I know my limits and I think I've proven that brakes may be in my outer limits). The rear brake cylinders and shoes looked fairly new so I suspect that the front might be new also.
Any suggestions where to start looking would be helpful.
