1970 c10 power brakes
 

Almost done with my 70 c10 stepside, Finally found a damn driveshaft after like 8 months of searching, now I just have one last thing I need to do to make it driveable - the brakes. The issue I'm having is that originally I had the manual 4 wheel drum brakes on her, and now that I've put the '72 chassis underneath, I have disc front with power brakes. Apparently there's something I need to do because since I put the new brake booster and master cylinder in my pedal is closer to the floor and my brake lights are on all the time. Any insight as to what I need to do? I'm hoping I can just drill a hole somewhere else on the brake lever and move where the rod attaches. Any insight? Anything would be appreciated. I'm dying to get this thing on the road again, and am hopefully looking at just a few more weeks before I can drive her again. :metal:

sounds like you may need to bleed the brakes.

not so much of a bleeding issue as much as it is that the power brakes had a different pedal in them. I know it's possible to use the original manual brake pedal I just wanted to know if anyone knew the exact way to do it. Brakes are already bled by the way. Truck moves and stops like a champ, i just don't want the brake lights on all the time. I'm sure there has to be a law against that.
