Wow after everything, I finally have brakes!!!

Ok, below are the pics with vacuum pump and now nice and clean with Hydraulic Boost. I started with new flex lines,replacing rotors, drums, shoes, pads, cylinders, MC Vacuum booster, Checked the piston clearance, installed a vacuum pump and canister. You get the idea, basically everything. My engine a 400cid has very low vacuum 11-13 inches. The vacuum booster reguires 18. I had the best brakes to date, but I couldn't do an emergency stop (Not Good). So after all the frustration, I bit the bullet and found a Hydraulic Brake booster system. The first test, had everything filing off the seat and hitting the dash board; PERECT! I went with ABS power brake from Orange, CA. More reasonable than CPP. Not as stylish, but Gertie is a working 4x4.
