ok this is a two part post. ill start off with the starter first, I put a new starter on about a month ago and i went to go start it today and it started to grind just like the old one.... crawled underneath my truck and noticed the gear keeps getting stuck on the starter... added a few more shims and now it seems to be ok... does anyone make a starter that fits my 86 c30 454 with doug thorley long tubes?

now on to the brake fluid. Got in my truck after i fixed the starter turned it on and the brake peddle felt very mushy and goes to the floor. looked to see if theres fluid and the front is completely dry

any ideads?
