Truck Bouncing

I just replaced the brakes on my 73 f250, the front pads anyway. After I bled the system, I took her for a ride. After a few short stops to make sure they were working, I hit the road to go to the store. Coming to a stop I feel the backend of the truck bouncing up and down, and truck pulls a little to the right. Now the past few months I heard some noises in the rear drums like something had broken and was dragging around in there, it went away. When I swapped the padsI checked around the rear brakes and found a brake line broken off. This brake line comes off the rear axle from a tiny block, its a rubber hose. Does anyone know where the bouncing is coming from?

I'm assuming the line yur talking about is the vent tube for the rear end. That just has to be attached to the frame.

as for the brake problem I would suggest you pull the drums and have a look around then get back to us with what you see.
