Hello, got a buddy with a '50 3100 that he's running a 400 in it with S10 master ,booster and prop. valve. He has brake pedal when the truck isn't running but as soon as it's started, the pedal drops to the floor. Any suggestions? Still air in the system possibly?Thanks, Brian

sounds like a booster problem but I'm not an expert.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you smile

Hy briank, your header says "no brakes", and you say the pedal drops to the floor when you start the engine. Can you move the truck with the engine running, or are the brakes locked up when the engine is running?

I'll have to ask him to make sure but I do not believe they are locked and it will roll.

Hy briank, it is normal for the brake pedal to go closer to the floor when the engine is started, it is one of the checks we perform to check the booster. Are the brakes adjusted up properly?
