Ok that fluid looks fine. But it is low. I would top off the Master, and have someone start it up and press the pedal, just to be sure you dont have a small leak somewhere that was missed before. Just so Im clear on things, I assume they replaced all the brakes lines, master, calipers/pads, rear shoes/drums-wheel cylinders on each side,?
Some of the older Chevys had those brake lines running inside the frame rail, they were a pain and most of the time we just ran new lines, front to back instead of inside the frame. If thats the case, keep looking for a leak, start with the rear brake wheel cylinders that push the brake shoes out, even if they are brand new they can leak. We are getting a rash of bad parts lately.
Now with an ABS module, air will get stuck in places that a gravity bleed wont always get. We use a scan tool on the newer vehicles to open up all the ABS solenoids completely to get the air out. I use a brake vacuum bleeder as well if needed. Some newer and even old vehicles can just be very difficult to bleed the air out.
Along with the air bleed, the rear brake shoes may not have adjusted themselves out all the way. Those we had to pull the E brake going in Reverse sometimes to get the shoes to adjust out, I remember that.
Are you confident enough to work on the vehicle? Remember, this is the brake system, not something you want to make a mistake on.
And please let us know what you find so we can solve this, no one wants to see a brake failure.
Here is a guide to help.
