Power Drum Brake Problem - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Just got my truck finished after two years. Converted to power brakes right before I parked it. Here is my problem, took it down the road today and when I go to stop ,brakes will not stop gradually. It's like they are stopping at end of pedal travel and front brakes are locking. Pedal is not going all the way to floor. Have replaced M/C, booster, and front brake shoes and hardware, bled front and rear brakes still the same. Also bench bled M/C before install. Have searched all of the posts I could find and still no help. The rubber lines look to be in pretty good shape on the outside. I thought at first it was because I wasn't used to the power brakes but they still should not lock. Any and all advice will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave
