No brake pedal

OK, so I went to replace master cylinder (didn't bench bleed it, I'm a fool) because I only had about the last 2 inches of pedal to apply brakes but I get zero fluid to the rear at all when trying to bleed them.

It's a 1986 F150 4X4 302 EFI/AOD. Is this a byproduct of not bleeding the MC first? or could there be something in between jacked up?

If you mean separate reservoirs, yes, not separate from the body of the MC like a plastic reservoir on the MC.

yea thats wut i meant, one of the pistons in the MC is probably stuck in front of the line, you might need to take it off and bench bleed it

Yeah, I am going to do that tonight. I am also going to do both the wheel cylinders and pads in the back tomorrow. I am going to make sure the brakes work by Saturday so I can drive this damn thing
