Sorry for vague post.
It's a 1986 v8 90.
All original it has a g-valve I think on chassis rail. Drums on back solid early discs on front.
I've changed servo, brake pads and shoes master cylinder and rear wheel cylinders.
Drove it and readjusted rear brakes.
It's just horrible to try and stop I'm using all my strength on brake pedal.
Ive had other early 90's never like this.
I used branded pads and shoes.
It's got new rear drums as well.
I bled them multiple times getting ****ed off with it now.

One way valve to the servo so the vacuum can’t go back towards the engine.
Is the MC push rod adjusted right? There is a specific clearance. I can’t remember if but it’s in the workshop manual
The g valve is unlikely to go
Wrong, it’s literally a ball that rolls forward under hard braking and shuts off the rear circuit so you don’t spin by locking up the rears.
If pedal is hard there is either a vacuum problem or a calliper problem imo
Have you got some one to push the brake pedal while you look carefully at each calliper to watch what it does?

As flat said, do not remove any limiting valve for the rear brakes, if the back end locks up before the front, the rear end WILL try and overtake the front under heavy braking.
I'll get wheels off and check calipers, pedals hard.
I've got a valve I can fit.
The engines running well so I doubt I've got vacuum leak.
This had been a problem since I rebuilt landy.
I'm tempted to replace discs and calipers for later vented 110 ones.
It spoils the truck.
