Re: Closer
I had same problem--replaced MC, Prop Valve, brakes, calipers, wheel cyls---and bleeding till I bled! My local mech said to gravity bleed--just open the caliper valve a bit and let them run while keeping fluid in MC. Seemed to work---I also needed to just DRIVE it a bit. It finally hooked up.

Re: Closer
What did you decide to do about the floor? Did you find a Rubber mat?

Re: Closer
I put a 3/4-1 ton booster in mine as the 1/2ton boosters are single diaphram and the 3/4-1 tons are dual diaphrams, the peddle is effortless and locks them down if needed. I had the same deal all new and a rock hard peddle and when a panic stop came up, nothing, now I tap it and stop!! Looks sweet, I would avoid rubber if you can as my nice rust free (yeah) AZ Blazer had rust because the rubber mat (original) held water under it and the only place it rusted was in the floors under driver's feet, was still wet under there when i pulled it out. Maybe a spray in liner, then you can get it wet and not worry?? Sweet, BTW

Re: Closer
You did an excellent job on that restoration. I love the color combo including the painted bumpers and grille. That would look good even if you didn't chrome it. Welcome to the club you can see mine in the signature link below. Someday I will end up driving it back to Evansville.
