brake ? no pedal

ok ive got a 92 F350 crew cab 2wd and cant get a pedal for the life of me. things ive done.

replaced both front calipers and adjusted both rear drums bleed the system get no air i can pump the pedal up but if i let it sit it goes to the floor as soon as i hit it .

so then got a brand new master bench bleed it and installed then re bleed the
brakes farturest from the master first . got that done no air at all when finished .

got to be air in the system somewhere, is it stopping at all before it hits the floor? are the rear brakes adjusted properly? mabey drive it around a little, very carefully, and see if the air works its way thru the system to a wheel, may be trapped in the equilizer block.

i hate these kind of things, always the last thing you think of!

i know this is a dumb question, but could you have gotten the lines crossed on the master cylinder? if not, i would try another master. it is possible to get 2-3 bad ones if they are from the same run.
