Hello all. I have a '51 M 37 I'm having brake problems with. I bought the truck from a man who restored it then let it set for about seven years. When I got it I put new brake cylinders all around. I drove it occasionally for a few months. One day I went out to drive it and the master cylinder was empty. I had a rebuild kit and rebuilt it. Since then, on occasion, the brake pedal will be extremely stiff, as in I can't push it down at all. This happened on a drive yesterday and of course the brakes got hot. It is as if the brakes are stuck on. After it sat for a couple of hours, I went out started it and it drove just fine with the brake pedal working normally. I have bled the brakes and don't know what to do next. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for any help. Sorry this post is so long, but thanks again. I sure would like to get the ole 37 ready for Veteran's Day parade. Jerry
