Default no brakes on slowtowpig

truck has been sitting for a awhile, and i get in it to back it up and no brakes, pedal goes right to the floor. i sit there and pump the brakes and they get alittle firm them go away again. ive always have had a leak on the pass. side rear drum but thats been that way for a year or so. i topped off the mc resivor and still nothing. i also pulled the hose off the brake booster to se if my vacuum pump was still working and i still have vacuum. so any advise?

Zach has the Mrs. been poking around under the hood of your truck lately? Do you have a large life insurance policy? Not pointing any fingers here......















Seriously though brakes are good I hope you got it fixed!

AW shucks, just put a rivet in the hose at each cylinder until you get a pedal. If no pedal obtained, the MC is bad. Please post travel intentions so I can stay off highway.
Just kidding!!!
Replace both rear wheel cylinders and MC. Now you may be able to do final diagnois if not completelly resolved by these repairs.
