1968 Chevy C10 manual drum brakes problem - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

The problem I am having with my 1968 Chevy C10 manual 4 wheel drum brake systen is that I have to use ALOT of foot pressure to stop the truck and when the pedal gets to the bottom of its travel I can hear a grinding noise. You literally come to a grinding stop barely. I replaced the master cylinder,all the shoes and drums look fine and I have bled the system but I dont know how well i bled it.

Is there something else I could be missing that is wrong? I highly doubt that the 4 wheel manual drum brake setups on these trucks were that bad?
