ok in this situation theres one of three things that could be the prob, first the master cylinder, if the pedal travels all the way to the floor with no resistance that's the problem. 2nd air in the lines, you would have to bleed your breaks, best to take it to professionals. and 3rd you have a broken wheel cylinder, these are located in the rear drums. they break due to excessive wear on the back breaks causing the little piston to come out releasing all the break line pressure. one bad line like that will screw up ur whole system.

Why does your Toyota 1990 pick-up master cylinder keep going out?
Logically if the Master Cylinder keeps failing there are only a certain amount of things coming into play here. Either you are buying defective products or the brake fluid is contaminated and causing the Master Cylinder to fail prematurely. Let's start with the Master Cylinders you are installing. I will not name suppliers but not all Master Cylinders are created equal. Some rebuilt Master Cylinders are defective right out of the box. I suggest you buy a NEW master cylinder. Before installing the new Master Cylinder flush all old brake fluid out of the entire system, install a new master cylinder and install fresh fluid from an unopened can. With a new master cylinder and fresh clean fluid, you should have no future problems.
