That sounds like a master cylinder problem, or air in the lines. With the correct master cylinder, you don't need to add residual valves. They are built in to the master cylinder. Make sure when the pedal comes back, it releases all the way so the piston can uncover the fill port.

Re: 55 Ford P-UP frame mount power booster
These frame mount power booster kits are Corvette style and the MC does not have internal valves inside-- MUST add either #10 or #2 and proportioning valve depending what application you are using--- took MC off the piston was stuck and no fluid going to the back--ordered NEW one but must have 1'' bore, so will see how that works-- Thanks

Re: 55 Ford P-UP frame mount power booster
Did you bench bleed the master before you installed it? The smaller the bore the more brake pressure you get, try a 7/8 bore. If you get a wilwood 7/8 bore master you don't need the booster.

I see one more problem here. The truck is parked in the wrong place and registered to you and not me.
