F250 Brake Bleeding ???

Hi Everyone...

92 F250 w. 351W. Finally got my air pump all sorted out.

A little while ago I got in the truck only to have the brake pedal fall to the floor. Went underneith in the back and noticed just how badly corroded my lines had become.

This truck is a firewood hauler and not my DD by a long shot so it gets back burnered frequently when it needs things. A week later I got new lines and installed them in the back.

A week later I got a pump tank type bleeder machine from a friend. I proceeded to pump to 10 psi and bleed the brakes this weekend, working the back first (where the line was broken) and then the front.

Still getting quite a bit of squish. If the lineswere open for a while does that just mean that a lot of air probably got in? How long do I need to bleed for when it seems like just fluid is coming through?

If bleeding doesn't fix anything what's the next step? The master cylinder?? Everything worked well before this .

Thanks,

Mike
