I just finished converting my 79 2wd to 4wd. Bleeding out the brakes did the rear and got all the air out. I could not get any fluid from the front calipers. I replace the master cylinder, still no fluid. Went and disconnected line by line only a trickle at the rubber hoses. All of the other LUV's I've done the calipers shoot out powerfully at least 4 feet. Any Ideas?

Start at the master...crack a line and see if it squirts. if yes, go to the next junction and crack it. Go on down the line towards the wheel until you find one that doesn't squirt.
Many times the rubber hoses degrade on the inside and you won't suspect it because the outside looks great.

Also double check for kinks.Calipers also might be full of crap.Replace the bleeders too.
