If you could get someone to press the pedal, where the fluid went may become evident. It went somewhere, you will find it eventually.

I guess it doesn't help that I undercoated my truck with a fluid film like undercoating. So it doesn't make it easy to locate wet spots either.
On a weird note.. My pedal is back and firm like it should be.. I did absolutely nothing more to it.
I took it down the road after putting the wheel back on it, had no pedal still. Shut the truck off and 10ish minutes later, when I started it back up.
I had the firm pedal back.. Seems like a vacuum issue now? If so maybe completely unrelated but I did mess with a vacuum hose earlier in the week.
It went to the EGR though so any correlation? I disconnected it again yesterday before I started bleeding brakes. So I don't think so?
