Update on my 71 dodge brakes. I took off the vacuum hose at the booster and it had lots of vacuum. If the pedal goes about half way to the floor on the first push and is just a little bit soft then you have great brakes and will slide the tires. If the first push only goes about a third of the way and is pretty hard then you will have trouble sliding the empty truck on loose gravel, ie pretty poor brakes. You just never know for sure what that first pedal is like. If the first pump isn't good and you decide to pump the brakes , then the pedal is hard as a rock and the brakes are awful. I think we're going to order a new booster tomorrow. Everything else seems to check out ok. When they do work great the pedal is always just a little bit soft but great brakes. Thanks everyone for your help. Never has the pedal gone more than half way to the floor the first pump. Anytime it feels a little soft then I know I'm going to have good brakes.
