been a while since i was under a 70's truck but i believe it is right in the driver's side frame rail near the first cab mount. either way, it's impossible to miss, big block of metal in the brake lines near the front somewhere

Alright well I bled the brakes real good again, I guess there was still some air in the lines.
I took it for a test drive, mashed the brakes and about kissed the windshield. lol

I definitely thought it was that new caliper full of air.
Glad to hear you got her fixed
