Brakes fail, replace master cylinder, blead brakes, and master cylinder. Still have no brakes. Requires excessive force brake pedal to stop vehicle. No leaks.

Excessive force = test vacuum booster and check valve. Shut off the truck, pump pedal until all air is bled out(if any) hold pedal dwn, start truck, pedal should sink a bit, if not booster or valve on the vacuum line is bad. Check the valve by sucking through both ends, air should pass in one direction only!
