brake HELP!

hey hopefully someone could help me understand this. Well my old master cylinder was leaking but still had breaks well i thought no big deal just change it out and bleed the brakes problem should be solved. Put a new master cylinder on the truck and bleed the brake lines. Went to hit the pedal and still had nothing. All the air was out of the fluid i drained about half a qt well i thought maybe i had bought a bad cylinder. so i bought another one still didnt work and then another and still to no surprise it still didnt work. i am at a complete loss. If anyone could help this would be fantastic.

1968 F-250 6cyl 240. 4 drum manual brakes.

Oddly enough, I had a very similar problem. Let me ask... Have you adjusted your breaks out? I put a new M/C on and still had no breaks. So I went around to each drum and readjusted the breaks and TADA!

Just my 2 cents

I was going to say maybe the parts store gave you the wrong part. I have found too many times with parts stores you have to know what you need from other applications in order to get what you need, because thier computers wont have the part you need.
