so no leaks, booster is fine, wasn’t able to bleed it I tried every wrench set and socket set I have and none fit so I need to get ahold of my mechanic to see what he used, guessing my caliper has gone bad or my master cylinder is faulty

Check the rear axle drum brakes if you have drum brakes. The drum brake hardware breaks . That will give you a long pedal travel. Also if real drums are out of adjustment more fluid goes to the rear.

Yep, this.

If the rears are out of adjustment, you get excessive pedal travel..... Adjusters are notorious for rusting up, and seizing..... but, that's ONLY on drum rears.
