Just got my truck running (YES! drive!!) and put some brake fluid in, to test her around the house. Tried to stop her but no luck headscratch. Pump on the brakes a couple of times and could feel some pressure but no enough. So pulled her back into the garage and checked my brake fluid , NONE. So I pulled the brakes apart and notice the wheel cylinder is missing what looks like a plug on one side. Could this be my problem. Its a 1953 GMC 3/4

You should be able to tell where the brake fluid is leaking. If not you need to add more fluid and bleed the brakes. If it is that dry I would expect some leaks and other problems.

It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble...
