Default baffled by brakes

Hi all new to site and have a question for you
Just got a 85 ram250 and both brake calipers were bad
drivers side was frozen I bent 2 big c-clamps trying to close it up but the pads on this side were still good
the other side the pads were completely gone metal crushed in on inside pad and caliper pisto was crumbled away
I replace both calipers, rotors,pads, bearings, but can not get any fluid to come out of the calipers after pumping a million times even tried sing one of the one man bleading cup things so could just keep pumping with bleader open and still nothing
is there some trick I am missing or something I am forgetting?
and yes before you ask the master cylinder is full
any imput would be greatly apreciated
thank you
chuck

can you get it to come out of the other side?

if so...the propotioning valve has locked fluid off of that cylinder, and that is beyond my scope...sorry, but that seems to be the deal

Replace the rubber hoses to the calipers while you've got the system full of air
that might also fix your problem!!!
