Brake Problems in the Jungle

I live in the heart of the rainforest with limited supply of parts or advice
I have a 89 f250 7.5 liter gas and an 88 15 pax Club Wagon 7.3 diesel
I have brake problems with both of them - When I hold the brake pedel down for an extended period the pedal gradually goes to the floor. By pumping the pedal the pressure comes back up. Where should I look for the problem ???
Thanks for any help Gary

Master cylinder is usually replaced when you exceed 80% of the pedal travel.

Sounds like the master cylinder(s) has an internal leak, and will probably have to be rebuilt, or replaced, depending on your parts availability in the Rain Forest.
