hydraulic clutch bleeding

Brothers, sisters and all fellow motor heads. I have replaced my clutch master cylinder twice in the past month. I cannot seem to get my clutch pedal back. I have tried several methods of bleeding this thing. I cannot seem to get a good strong gush of fluid down at the slave bleeder when I depress the clutch. What am I doing wrong???????At wits end here. I have not been able to run my truck for a month now

Did you bench bleed the master cylinder before installing? Once it's installed, open the bleeder with the pedal all the way out, push the pedal to the floor, close the bleeder. Repeat this until you get a good stream of fluid, then pump the pedal several times, hold it on the floor, then open and close the bleeder, repeating several times.
