Posted by SoCalSmith on 12/4/2006, 12:43 pm, in reply to "Re: 65 Ranchero brake problems" The pulling only occurs after several miles when everything is warmed up. Never have I had such a problem with manual brakes. I'm still thinking the adjusters may be the culpret. It'll pull to the left for a few weeks then switch to the right. I'd like to get rid of the automatic adjusters. Is there a kit that will accomplish this? Thanks again for the tips.... Smith H. --Previous Message--

Thanks for the input guys.......
Yep, I've installed new brake hoses, it has a new master cyl. and the alignment appears to be right on. Tires are wearing evenly. The rear brakes have all been replaced also. We've blead the system until new fluid flows clear (thought maybe slug may be in the lines somewhere).
