Brake problems
So i have a 83 f-150 stepside. I put new calipers and pad in all the brakes, bleed the brakes. I went to try the brakes out, and the pedal goes right to the floor. You have to repeatedly pump the brakes to stop, and when you let off the brakes it sound like you are letting out an air compressor, i have been told a couple different things, but im not sure, what it is, wanted to see if i could get any help with this.

Sounds like your power brake booster needs attention; here's a pic from FSB, the booster is
the black can (with the vacuum hose attached to it) that the master cylinder is connected
to.
Disconnect the vacuum hose from the booster and plug it (the hose), start the engine and
try your brakes - what happens?
