A little more info will help get the diagnosis started.

Is the pedal low/soft/spongy?

What do you mean by "no back brakes"?

Did you adjust the rear brakes at all?

when you step on the brakes they go almost to the floor and to get a petal you have to pump them like 10 times to get a petal and than it goes back down

You may get more input if you answer all of the questions and clarify your statements.

If you are pumping the pedal that much and get no build up, there is a leak, air, and/or not enough brake fluid in the system.

Did you bleed the RABS valve after bleeding the rear brakes? Did you then bleed the front brakes after bleeding the RABS valve? Did you adjust the rear shoes?

You probably have either more than one leak, or you did not get a good seal at the attachment point (if I am putting it correctly). Both have happened to me, and I have concluded with these old trucks that it's worth it to just suck it up and buy the pre-bent set. Unfortunately, I don't have the funds to do that
yet, but I am hoping soon.
Good luck with your issue!
