sorry forgot to mention its like its not wanting to pump up any pressure and i tried two diff master cylinders, once the brakes go to the floor it's enough to get the truck stopped

i told him to go back and follow every brake line and hose and junction to make sure.
lo and behold, he found a leaking line.
also give a hard good look at the rear brake parts for leaks.

the truck had this prob for a long time, it had enough brakes to stop itself but not if pulling a load when i picked it up the master cylinder was full, and i checked over everything and i have done it twice since then

I would check the rear cylinders. Axel seals may not have been the only thing leaking back there.
