I have a 97 f150 and the other day the brakes just went to nothing at the pedal.pedal all the way to the floor. So I thought it was the master cylinder and replaced that and still no pedal when trying to bleed and no fluid coming out of the bleed valves. any ideas

Check for a blown brake line. Usually along the frame towards the back of the truck. Sometimes the rust hole is so small that you can't really see any fluid coming out.

I don't want to offended you if you already know this.

Start at the master cylinder first. You can bleed them before you put them on. Since it is on, try and see if you can get any fluid out of the master cylinder then work back. If you can find one, use a pressure bleeder. Maybe you local auto parts store may have one you can use or rent.

If your truck has ABS on it, I don't know then.

DYI Pressure bleeder.
