I have a 1988 Chevy C1500 and the brake pedal goes to the floor. I have replaced the back drum shoes and the front disc pads. What's wrong with my brakes? They still work but it is hard to get my truck to stop.

Ok how do you adjust the play in the rear brakes? The master cylinder is full of fluid so it's not that.

Adjust the rear breaks by backing up and taping the brake peddle several times, If peddle still goes to floor the master cylinder is bypassing and will need replacing. If you have ABS breaks, you could have a bad pump, high dollor item. You may also try bleading the breaks.

If no leaks and back brakes adjusted up tight and no air in lines etc, then replace your master cylinder and make sure it's full of brake fluid.

Either you may have a hydrolic leak or a bad master cylinder.

Those trucks are famous for the boosters going bad. I just replaced one on my brothers truck, last week.
