Brake Pressure Loss
My FIL has a '69 SWB C/10 with a fairly well built 350 running a 292 cam, and it's running power drum brakes. Now for the problem...
When driving the truck it seems like the brake pedal and brakes don't have the grip they should give it's a power drum setup. Now I know drum brakes (even with a booster) are not like disc brakes but when I first purchased my '69 it would lock'em up without a booster. Things we've tried: Vac Canister - No effect Replaced Power Booster - No effect He recently added a 700r4 and had the shop check everything to ensure it was properly hooked up by the PO; everything looks right it just won't stop like it should. We would like to determine the culprit without the need to upgrade to disc brakes. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance guys! (Pics of the truck to come)
