Re: 1961 Viking

I’m getting ready to tackle the brake system on this truck. The previous owner replaced the slave cylinder and then lost the brakes completely shortly after that. He thought it was the master cylinder so, he tracked down a new replacement. I’m getting ready to install the master cylinder and bleed the system. Is the bleeding procedure like a conventional truck? Bench bleed the master cylinder and then bleed each wheel starting from the furthest position away? It does run and shift excellent, just has zero brakes. The emergency brake does not seem to hold it either so, I will have to investigate that system.
