When we first got my dads 57 up and running a few years ago he thought the same thing... Bad master... But I convinced him to keep bleeding them... Hours later of straight bleeding we eventually got the burp of air out of the system and all was good!

Good luck

Yeah it's gettin there but last night a buddy came over and the rear drum on the drivers side wouldn't adjust right so we took the drum off and he noticed that there were parts missing from the adjuster asembly - I didn't take anything off when I rebuilt them but someone else had before me so I got the parts I needed for it and now it works great so I think this next time it will start working like it should :)
 
ALRIGHT!!! That means you are ready for a summer of rod runs, that truck you built will really impress the crowds, ENJOY!

THANX!!! I can't wait to just get out and cruise don't even care if I make it to any shows:) BUt I would like to see the reaction it gets at least at some local shows
 
Got the struts from a mitsubishi eclipse for the bed of the truck and they worked slick!!!
