No air in the lines, but brakes still squishy

No air in the lines, but brakes still squishy
When I put in a reman prop valve in it was leaking slightly but eventually stopped, it did take some time though. There are shops that do specialize in brake repair, you might want to go visit one of them about that issue.
 
What was explained to me by two mechanics is the chinese valves (almost all replacement are) have cheap "O" rings that cause the leak. I've had two leak (around a year after installed). My mechanic tried to find a stock style that was made is the US and was unable to. His recommendation was to go with the adjustable one. Guys on another forum try to find a used one in the bone yards to get by the chinese ones.
 
Rear drums fully adjusted.

This thing stops on a dime. Used the Wilwood proportioning valve to adjust the rears to be firm but not lock up.

Thanks for the advice, guys.
 
THX for the update
