well we changed one wheel cylinder and discovered the dumbass who had it before us put ten inch shoes in instead of 11 inch so gotta change those and gonna change other wheel cylinder and front pads while we are at it. any suggestions on pads for the front its the gfs truck really i want her to get a nice set like the hawks but she says no since they are more expensive lol are they worth the money?

Got air in there some place Brock. Try this out. Push the emergency/parking brake pedal down till it stops. Leaving it locked in place now push your brake pedal down. Does it still want to go to the floor? If it now does not (you actually feel like it won't go to the floor) then there is air in the line. If your brake pedal does go to the floor even with the emergency/parking brake pedal locked down, then your system is not holding pressure. That means you gotta check the entire system stem to stern including your master cylinder and the vacuum boost.
