So another update:  
 
I went ahead and replaced the rear shoes. The previous owner had a new relined set in the trunk for me!  Here is why I replaced them.  My drivers side front rear shoe was the only one that required some major adjustments.  I got the shoe adjusted and it was better.  However when looking back at some of my pictures I remembered that that shoe was worn a uneven.  See the pic below.
 

 
So I replaced all the rear shoes, first because I still have the Miller tool, so now would be the best time.  2nd because I have the parts, and 3rd that one shoe was worn uneven.  I went through the rest of the minor adjustments again as well.  Not much change there of course.  
 
However now my pedal is perfect!!!  I would say it is 95-98% perfect.  Before I started the adjustments I would say 40-50% right, then after I went through it with the miller tool and fixed the rod angles, 85-90% perfect.  Now its just right!  I just wanted to follow up with everyone so others that search can find the solution to my problem.  
 
A Review:
Got the car, brakes weren't the best Bled the brakes because the old fluid was just old and nasty. Bled until clean clear fluid out of every bleeder.  Never found any air in the system.   Pedal feel better, but the height was not effected, still had to pump the brakes. Pedal feel better because of the fresh fluid I am sure. Tried to adjust just the minor adjusters, no change, they were already as close as they could be. Removed the drums.  Found all new or recently new components!  Found 2 rod angles that were "strange" Got the Miller tool from an awesome forum member, Austin. Fixed the strange push rod angles.  Shoes just had to be moved around a bit, not sure how or why they were like that but an easy fix. This made the largest difference in the pedal height.  Pedal came back to 80% instead of 40%!!! Went through the car with the Miller tool and found one shoe out of adjustment.  Went and replaced the rear shoes.  Adjusted with the Miller tool. Pedal even better!  95% perfect Adjusted the whole car again with the minor adjustments, nothing big here, just for piece of mind.  Brakes are great now!   Will keep you all posted.  Glad to have the pedal at the top of the travel now. Brakes work great
