Default no back brakes

I don't have any back brake pressure. I tried to bleed but no fluid coming out. Would this be a master cylinder problem?

Check the rear lines for leaks and remove the drums and check the WC's

yea, i would say check the lines for kinks and stuff, and if you have good pressure up front and none in the back i would check the proportioning(yes that is spelled right, i even googled it to make sure) valve, that is what splits everything back to front

I had the same problem on my 92...i let both of my rear drums bleed at the same time until i saw fluid coming out and they basically bleed themselves out and then i tighten the bleeders back up and add fluid...thats how i got mine to work you might give it a try
