1965 c10 - hard brake pedal? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

1965 C10 - long wheel base

v8

1969 - dual pot master cylinder for all wheel drums

vacuum drum brake booster

O.K. folks, here is the deal.

I'm riding along in big blue truck and when I hit the brake pedal, I have to really put the foot into it. The pedal is not soft, it doesn't sink down, but the front end of the truck does not seem to *dive* when I hit the brakes.

This makes me think there is an issue with the master cylinder.

Which, was last changed in March, 2010 by my professional mechanic.

What do ya'll think?

Thanks for any suggestions or things to check.

your fellow truck addict,
