Finally got Brakes
After,
$40 Master cylinder $20 in brake fluid $30 to turn drums $40 for new shoes and wheel cylinders $10 for new bleed screws $130 for rear brake job (don't ask) $25 for used prop valve $89 to test pressure at wheels $140 for new booster and master cylinder (yes, another master cylinder) and at least 40 hours of my time, I can finally stop my truck tonight. I've been skidding all over the neighborhood! My truck is not smarter than me. Well, at least not smarter than me and my wallet.

Congratulations. We all feel safer tonight!
So why did you need another Master Cylinder?

For having had difficulties, you didn't spend so much. Only $100-$200 over the parts cost to do a thorough DIY brake job that these old trucks almost always need when first acquired. Congrats.
