Thanks for the feedback. Truck is a 50 F3 whithout booster.

I had bled the master cylinder before I started.

The first time I bled them I had a helper (unenthused wife LOL), she would push & release as I released and tightened the bleeder. Yesterday helper was not available. But I had read in the shop manual about putting a hose down into a bottle of break fluid. So I did that without a helper thinking any bubbles would come out and float to the top and any drawback would be brake fluid. Maybe that is not actually true though as that would have to force the bubbles down to the bottle.

I did read the post linked, I saw that right after I posted my question. I noticed there that you should not push the pedal all the way down. I didn't know that.

I'll check the push rod adjustment and try again with a helper and in the sequence noted after I get some more brake fluid.

I did see the link about the bleeders with the check valve I might look into that too.

Thanks again for the help. I'll report back with an update after my next attempt.
