Burned brakes? Found a cure!
Got the 67 on the road & drove it down to son's house. It has CPP disk frt setup & on the way the truck ws losing power. When I let up on the go pedal, it acted as though something was dragging the truck down. I live 6 miles away & by the time I got there, the back brakes were smoking badly & the front were almost as bad. Rebleed the brakes & tried again. Alot better, BUT still dragging a brake somehow. Talked to brother & he had this problem with his 64 chevy. They, like us, discovered a bracket that was catching the brake pedal when you released the brake. We bent the brake arm & the problem is 100% fixed. Howard

Do you have any pics of the bracket in question?

Re: Burned brakes? Found a cure!
Not that it matters now,but if you would have shortened the pushrod lenghth from the brake lever/arm to the m/c or booster to m/c, if you have power brakes or not, it would have worked. Bob
