My 59 IH truck won't keep the brake petal pressure ... Can
pump them up, bleed them out and have brakes ... Then the
old girl sets and the next time I use her ... Petal to the floor.

Pump them up, bleed them and then brakes again. Not
leaking any fluid .. so any ideas ??
 
Had the same trouble with a 1956 S180. Problem turned out to be a worn out vacuum booster (the "Hydrovac"). Installing a rebuilt Hydrovac got the brakes working again.
 
I have wondered about that .. I saw on another forum a guy rebuilt one on a older Chevy ... I'll have to start checking on a rebuild kit or a replacement
