Most likely the Master Cyl. I would pull the cyl and check for fluid seepage into the booster.

Just get a master for a 69 C body with drums.I have one on my kids 62 300 and its been perfect for 10 years.You do have to plumb it in for the extra line.I got some brass blocks in the junk yard off of older mopars with drum brakes so I didnt have to try and find any parts.Just remember if you need to check rear brakes you need a special puller to get the drums off.That and the frts have dual wheel cyls.Also get a good 7/16s 6 point socket to adjust them.Rocky

Did this just start or has the pedal dropped gradually over time? Really loose brake shoe adjustment can use all of the MC's volume in one pedal stroke.
Will pumping the pedal raise it?

If its going to the floor Id say master is bad.It was pretty common back in the day to have it happen.Unless its a Show car Id put a dual master on it.Most people wont even know its there.I know my dads cousin was in the Model A thing.Changing to hydraulic brakes was one of the things that they allowed for safety.Just remember that the brakes have 2 adjusters on each wheel.Rocky
