Pedal can only travel about 1inch, trying to push it further is impossible. Front to rear brake line was replaced. Brakes were bled. Noticed that when depressing the pedal, the resevoir in the master cylinder closest to the firewall had no activity. While the smaller resevoir squirted some fluid out( master cylinder cap was off. No leaks.) No brake booster. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Check you rear flex hose line from your rear brake line to the t fitting on top of the diff. Mine was so clogged up I wasn't getting any fluid to the rear brakes. You can disconnect it then try to press the brake pedal and see if you get any fluid out of it. I was having the same issue you described.

I disconnected it, i got fluid out of it. I drove it today, they're stiff after a couple of inches. The rears lockedup after i really got on the brake. I think I'm havin an issue up front. Has disc brakes up front.
