Truck bucks
I have a 1971 F100 that i just put back in service.I did a complete brake job(shoes,springs,wheel cylinders,rubber brake lines,master cylinder and turned drums) on the truck and when i apply the brakes the truck wants to buck.The truck was out of sevice since 1999 and i can remember it did this back then with the old brake setup.Any idea what might be causing this?Any help would be appreciated.

wagontrainer,
Sounds like the first place to look would be I-beam and strut bushings and kingins. You might also check for a bent wheel/rim or bad tire. Try having someone else roll the truck and watch the tires from front and then rear.

The passenger side king pin had a little slack in it but the drivers side was tight.The tires are new and the rims are staight.How can i check for slack in the i-beam and strut bushings?
When i apply the brakes you can feel it in the pedal.
