Ok - thanks to everyone here I found out it was/is my hydro vac that is causing my problems. Others have talked about how they bypassed the hydro for a short time while rebuliding it. This is the route I am leaning towards. Before I crawl under and pull the hydro - does anyone know off hand what size fittings are on the brake lines so I can crawl under once remove it(hydro) and place the "jumper line" in place. This is on my 1955 2 ton.
Thanks
Donn

The tube size will be 1/4 or 3/16.

They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.
