Replumbed my brakes on my '70 C-10 this weekend. New lines, master and wheel cyl. Bench bled master and bled lines but still have low, spongy pedal. Will I need to keep bleeding as air works its way out?

Did you replace the rubber lines as well? Sometimes they get soft and cause your problem.

best wishes,

Make sure you have rear brakes adjusted correctly

I had the same problem with my 65 when I converted from a single master to a dual(for obvious safety reasons). With all the new lines and hoses it took forever to get all of the air out of the rear of the system. After a long gravity bleed, I still had to bleed the rears multiple times to eventually fix the soft petal problem.
