I would check the adjustment on the shoes first. I went through the same thing on my flat fender pickup. The shoes should drag just a little more than you think. That solved my problem. But at least I have completely rebuild brake system and clean fluid now.

: unable to get a firm pedal. I have replaced
: the master cylinder (bench bled before
: installing), replaced all 4 wheel cylinders
: and all rubber lines. I have bled the lines
: 8 or 10 times starting in the pass rear to
: drivers rear to pass front and then drivers
: front. I have my son pump until the pedal

: valve and close it before it stops flowing.
: The last 5 or 6 times, I have gotten no air
: out of the lines, but the pedal is still
: soft. I have checked all the connections
: and there aren't any leaks along the way.
: I'm a little frustrated and would appreciate
