I'm currently in the process of selling my house and I need to get my Deuce off my driveway. Somehow during the time its been parked it lost all braking function and I can't get it off the wheel chock. If there is someone nearby Sacramento area that can lend a hand I'd really appreciate it. I just need to get it to the storage place until I can either sell it or getting it running and stopping well enough for a road trip out of state.

Start the truck and put it in low range and back off or over the chock (at idle). Set parking brake the same instant you put the clutch in.

Bleed your brakes(refill first).

How long since you moved it?

Its been sitting a couple of years. It had working brakes when I parked it. I went to move it about 6 month ago and the brake pedal went to the floor, so I didn't move it, I would use the park brake if it functioned. I don't think the neighbors would appreciate it if I used their vehicles as a vehicle catcher.

Fill the brake MC, then bleed the air pack, refill, then bleed the wheels one at the time, refilling the MC after each. If you had plenty of time, you could just fill the MC each day for a couple of weeks and the air would v-e-r-r-y s-l-o-w-l-y come back up through the system. It could take two or three months for this method to work, and it really does not sound like you have the time. Kenny's pressure bleeder idea will work if you do not have a 'soldier B' to pump the pedal.

I've got a power bleeder I built that you can borrow. Otherwise I have a tow bar as well.
