What was the reason for the brake bleeding?

Did you bleed them until you had new fluid, or just until there weren't anymore air bubbles?  If it was just until no bubbles you could still have air in the lines still.

Dr.Maxwe001 – well i have a 15 gal compressor now and if I gett he 60  and then use the 15 as a reserve that wil give me 75 gal  thats close to 80 isnt it ?

I just built this truck from the frame and got to this point. So all new fluid not a drop of the old stuff and I have rear brakes just no front

Pinched line? off the master? open bleeder?

No kinked line and the bleeders are closed nothing is leaking and the master is original it worked great before I took everything apart

Could be air did you bench bleed it

All I did was open up driver rear all the way pumped until fulid came out then bled it for air then went to passenger rear then passenger front driver front then the load valve is there any way I could block off the load valve? Just take out the line and block both ends? Just wondering

Used or new calipers?  If used, the pistons could be seized from rust, common problem when left sitting.

does the pedal go to the floor or not?

Yep new calipers they are the ifs 4runner with the fj60 rotor and the pedal is nice and firm when the truck is off but once I turn it on to the floor and if I roll in the driveway the pedal goes all the way then at the very end when the pedals at the floor the rear grab doesn't mater how many times I pump them

junya92toy

try a new master or its got air

Break the lines free off the master just enough for fluid to come out I had the same problem there was air trapped at the top of the lines once I cracked the lines at the master everything worked perfect try that before you replace it
