Brake HELP ASAP Please

I have a 71 Ford with 79 running gear, and when I push on my brake pedal it stays to floor when the truck is on or off. When bleeding there is fluid just not a bunch of pressure. Can anyone please help me why? I have replaced everything and it still is doing the same damn thing.

How do you adjust the push rod? It has new lines, a valve, and all the brakes have redone. It has brakes but the pedal will not come back up. I am clueless..

You shouldn't have to, but when you buy a booster, it has a little "L" paper to verify rod height. It looks like a mini carpenter's framing square.

Just curious, how good of a bleed have you done? I would guess you have too much air in it. I would try a rebleed and then worry about other things.
