pedal still low after bleeding.
I bleed my brakes today using the one man bleeder bottle and my pedal is still very low almost to the floor.There was only a little air in one line.why would the pedal still be so low?

Does it feel spongy? Was it low like this before bleeding? If you give a couple quick pumps, will it come up and be firm pedal? If so, tighten the rear shoes. Jack the rear and tighten until the shoes can be heard draging against the drums.

On my 78 F150 I could not get my front brakes to work properly until I found a little tidbit of info in the Haynes manual.
There is a little pin on the differential valve that had to be pulled out when bleeding to get pressure to the front brakes. I have never seen that info in any other manual but it works.
