I give up!!!!
I have to admit defeat. I have been working on my 79's brakes for 3 weeks now. I've replaced the rear cylinders & shoes, front calipers, pads & brakes lines, master cylinder, power brake booster, combination/proportioning valve, and one rigid brake line. I have flushed and bled the system with at least one gallon of brake fluid, and I still have no brakes. The pedal offers no resistance.
So, in the interest of my own personal sanity, I have officially thrown in the towel and sent the truck to my local shop. I guess I'll stick to alternators and water pumps from now on.
