Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)

Did you adjust the rear calipers? They do use the actuated style rear parking brake caliper...right? If they do, the parking brake has to be adjusted, or you will have a terrible feeling pedal. Try pinching off the "drop line" from the frame to the rearend and see if the pedal isn't better. If it gets firm, then the rear calipers still need adjustment. This was the issue I ran into with the McGaughy rear brake kit...

Hope that helps.
