Brake question
I have a 69 C10, drums front and rear, no power braking. The brakes had been getting gradually weaker and a couple of weeks ago the brake warning light in the dash would come on when I braked hard, so the pressure in the two systems was different. I replaced the master cylinder, one front wheel cylinder (the bleed nipple broke off) and relined the front brakes. The brakes feel better, but the brake warning light still comes on and now the rear brakes make groaning noises and lock up. Any body got any ideas ?

Bernie,
check the back brakes and see if everything there is good then bleed the entire system thouroughly. I had trouble with reaer locking up after I did brake work and turned out that the front still needed thourough bleeding. After that everything works great.
