Very Firm Brake Pedal - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I recently replaced both the vac booster and M/C on my C20 with drum brakes front and rear. The booster went out making it very hard to stop. It is now better but I feel the amount of pressure on the brake pedal is a little higher than it should be. Stock 350 with plenty of vacuum, no kinked hose, and bleed the heck out of the system. Seems to stop ok especially when I stomp on it, just hard to get used to the higher effort required.

Doesn't encourage confidence in the brakes.
