Well last night I straightened my pushrod and reinstalled my master cylinder, and now fluid flows freely to the back when i push the pedal. So I bled the brakes, and the pedal feels great, until I turn the truck on. With the truck on the pedal goes to the floor with no effort and I put it in drive with the rear jacked up and the tires off and there isn't even enough braking to stop the axles spinning. what would cause this?

Well today I rebled the system and readjusted the shoes and it works. So I took it for a test drive and noticed that it was pulling to the left a little when I braked, so I headed home and took a look at the passenger side and found this





after a trip to the parts store it now looks like this



and works great, just in time to go wheeling on the weekend.

Thanks, Mark
