Master cylinder problem - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm having an issue with my master cylinder right now. To start off my truck was dismantled two years ago for restoration and now I'm putting it back together. Earlier this week I was putting the brake system together and when I got the master cylinder connected to the pedal and I tried pushing the pedal to see if it was hooked up right and the pedal was jammed and won't return either. The m/c was sitting in my shed for two years with just a little bit of fluid in it. Am I screwed and need to buy a new m/c or not. Its a 72 with power brakes and discs up front.
