While were on the subject of brakes........ does anybody know if having a residual valve on the front disc circuit would cause my problems? I put it in thinking my master cylinder was going to be below the calipers but it looks as if it is slightly above. Things that make you go hmmmmmmmmmm......I was also wondering if having 3/16 line to the rear drums might be my problem.

My other thought was perhaps my MC is not sized matched properly with my wheel cylinders. Anybody know what size wheel cylinders are in a 70's 12 truck rear?

Stay tuned for pics, I have the nose of the truck back on. (WHAT A JOB THAT WAS)! I am just waiting on some gaskets for the headlight buckets.
