Brakes not working right on 1988 Chevy pickup?
I bought the truck from a tire dealer who claims he put $150 into the brakes but when you go to stop it is like when your master cylinder is going out or like you brake pads are wearing out. Since a garage worked on it I am wondering what the problem could be? When you press on the brakes it goes to the floor and you need to press hard. Any answers? Tom

You may have more than one problem.Excessive pedal travel can be caused by worn out brake shoes , or worn out drums or improperly adjusted shoes or combinations of all three.If the pedal is spongy , its air in the brake lines/master cylinder/calipers/wheel cylinders.You are going to have to pull it apart to inspect everything, you will need some specifications and tools to measure .You should be able to get a service manual from your library, for the specs.
