I had a problum on my early 28 truck same brake system when i jacked up the engine to change timeing gear i had to loosen the motor mounts, radious rods etc, when i put it back together i did not have the right clearance on the u joint fork first time i stepped on the brake fork locked up ball dropped out i had to loosen mounts up jack up u joint to required spec's ( use caution here go slow not too much pressure with your jack ) there should be a gap between you cross member and top part of u joint i think it can be repared or adjusted to work update should be your last resort if you have any questons let me know glad to help you get brakes working
