1989 ford van brake problems?

I bought this vehicle a few weeks ago and noticed that when coming to a normal stop the break pedal woud go about half way down before the van would start to stop.but in a situation where a quick stop had to be made the pedal would be firm untill the van was about stoped then the pedal would sink down to half way.i changed the pads on it today and now the pedal goes to the floor and will not get firm.i have tried to bleed the breaks but cant get any pressure.seems to be no leaks.fluid is full.i did notice when bleeding that the fluid would only dribble out.
Answer
The problem could be in the flex hoses on the front end..they have metal clamps on them and over time the clamp can actually push in on the hose crushing it..this would make it hard to get the fluid to the caliper...
