F-7 Vacume brake woes
My 1948 F-7 has the original 337 flathead with original vacume assist brakes. The truck has not been running for 3+ years. The vacume brakes were working great when it last ran. Fired up the engine today and the brake pedal goes to the floor. I hear the 'chuff' sound of the vacume part when I step on the pedal. So, I'm assuming that part works. Where do I start trouble shooting / where to begin?

If you don't sort it out with input from guys here, I'd suggest calling Chuck Mantiglia at Chuck's Trucks. He's got an F-7 and will have your answer. Plus probably will have the parts you need to put it back in service. Below is his link. Stu
