how do you tell if your brake master is bad?

How do you tell if your brake master cylinder is bad? When the truck is off the pedal is firm and hard. As soon as I turn the truck on the pedal gets super mushy. I can lock up the wheels but only after the pedal reaches the floor. I have to pull the pedal back up with my foot to get it to return to the normal position. I pulled the master off and did not notice any external leaking into the booster or anything like that.

here is what ive done so far to the brake system:
-I replaced all the soft brake lines on my 72 k20 with braided brake lines.
-I replaced the calipers and pads on all four corners.
- Ive bled and re bled the truck multiple times and no air comes out.
- Ive adjusted the rear parking brake calipers they have almost no slack.

The only thing I havent replaced is the master and the brake booster and the hard steel brake lines.

Does this sound like a master problem? or is there something im missing?
