Welcome to the Stovebolt!

Not a bad find for what you appear to have paid for it.

A single cylinder master was common until Federal law mandated a dual master starting in '67 or '68. A hydravac which boosted braking power was an option on your truck, but from your brief description I suspect yours does not have it.

Where do you start?

Start by figuring out what you want to do with the truck. How you are going to use and drive it, how you will load it, what your performance expectations are going to be. Think those things through and try to summarize in just a sentence or two.

I say that because I believe the best approach to your brake problem could differ quite a bit based on your answers.
