Re: Pressure bleeding

Lots of good info and advice. One thing I would check is the wheel cylinders. Peel the rubber boot back and see if there is fluid in there. My 57 has a known leak and the symptom you describe is identical to mine. Decent brakes until hit hard. Bleeding was a pain also. Essentially the pressure was holding until higher pressures are applied then the leak would appear.
All the brake parts inside the drum were replaced before I got the truck.. Hope I didn't just confuse brake threads since I just read the new posts and this has been running a few days.
