35 Pickup Brakes dragging

[Jakno]

Working the re-build bugs out of the 35 pickup. Having trouble adjusting brakes (Hyd conversion). I adjust the brakes so that the wheels spin freely. Drive 2-3 miles and the brake lights start flickering on/off and the front wheel brakes start dragging and getting hot, real hot. Rear wheels appear to be ok. The brake pedal is right at the top and hard when this happens. Normally I have couple of inches of play.
I've adjusted the brakes twice with the same results.

Any thoughts are appreciated....... Thanks

Something is keeping the master cylinder from returning to it's relaxed position. It is maintaining pressure in the lines. Are you using a two outlet master cylinder? Is the brake pedal spring totally retracting the pedal?

JSeery, thanks. It is a 2 outlet cylinder and I will check the brake pedal return to make sure that it's not the problem. Thank You
