Re: brakes
Put on a good pair of work boots and by opening the door you can assist with your feet. Also having a friend with an old beater in front of you can help.

Re: brakes
lol thats funny. my pedal isnt spongy it just feels like manual brakes that dont work very well i think it is the prop valve when i bleed the rear brakes it squirts fluid out the bleeders pretty good but when i bleed the front it just rolls out of the bleeder im going to try and reset it today and if that doesnt work ill order a new one

Re: brakes
Have you checked to make sure your MC push rod is adjusted right? It should have about a 3/32 gap bafore making contact with the bore cap. Also have you tried running the engine then after you turn it off pull out the one way vac valve from the booster to make sure it is holding psi. I agree your light is on because the PV is not centered but you should still have an assited pedal just with out much action but you said it feels like MB not PB and that tells me their is another problem.
For checking Vac in the booster do what I said above. For checking push rod depth in the MC just loosen the two nuts holding the MC in place and it should stay in place. If it has psi against it and pushes out a bit then your rod needs to be adjusted in untill it just makes contact then turn it in another few turns. Hope this helps, I know how frustrating brakes can be but their are only so many possible things to go wronge. Your truck was power brakes to start with right or did you just convert it over?
