My truck doesn't stop...... (trying to fix now, must be put back together by 5pm CST)

When we first got it two years ago the pedal had about a half inch of travel before braking started. Now its got almost three inches of travel. Just replaced pads, calipers and rotors are in good condition. The brakes are bled, And I can see no leaks at the wheels. Seeing leaks under the hood is almost imposible as the Oil Pressure Sender by the Distributer leaked for about ten years before I replaced it a month or two ago.

Some have suggested Vacuum Booster, But I don't know how to test that, and funds aren't readily available to test by replacing.

Others have suggested the Proportioning Valve, But I've never seen that and wouldn't know where to look for it or how to test it.

So, My question is, What is wrong with the braking system in the truck?
