No Brake Fluid

My brakes are feeling a little spongy, so I figured I would bleed them just to make sure there was no air. I had my son pump the brakes, but when I cracked open the RF bleeder nothing came out, same on the LF. I removed the RF bleeder completely, with no fluid coming out at all. HELP! This on a 2000 F-350

How about the rears? Have you checked them also? You should see some fluid flow from the caliper bleed port just with gravity.

Should start with the pass rear then drivers rear . Start with the brake farthest from the master cylinder. How many miles on truck - Have they ever been bled ?

Problem solved, bleeders were dirty. To answer some of the questions, yes the MC had fluid, and I actually take it to a place and have the fluids flushed, they charge $60.00, the truck has 125,000mi. on it. Thanks for the help.
