Darryl, If you continue to have trouble with the brakes leaking, you could add a 3 psi residual line pressure valve. It will hold a low pressure in the lines, which will help to keep the cup lips against the bores. It will not make your brakes drag as the return springs should be enough to overcome the pressure. There is possibly a line pressure valve in the bottom of the m/c, already, but an inline one will have a higher pressure.
Were the cylinders originally fitted with cup expanders? A number of old Dodge wheel cylinders that I've opened up, had them.
What might be involved in altering the angle of the steering column? I see the dash panel is a limitation. How is the box mounted?
