Soft brake pedal on a ‘67

Ok my buddy called me and he is bleeding his brakes on his freshly restored ‘67. Everything is new and he has bled plenty of Bronco brakes before but this truck is giving him fits. We talked things over and everything he has tried hasn't worked. Basically he has vacuumed bled them 5 times and twice gravity bled them too. He still seems to be getting very small air bubbles out of the front. He has gone back and checked all his fittings and they seem tight.

Any thoughts???

I'm assuming that you have a drum/drum setup. Also assuming that you bled right rear one 1st. Other than that, are your bleeders on the bottom? If not, that may be allowing some air in. That's what I got for something to check.

Since you said restored I also assume drum brakes all around. But if he has any non-stock equipment definitely let us know. Especially if there is a vacuum booster involved.
If so, then check with him to be clear as to whether it is soft and mushy, or simply long travel.
