If you can pump the brakes up with the pedal, then you still have air in the system.
I don't know if a 52 2ton came with a hydrovac. Mine is a 57 2ton GMC. Had to buy a new hydrovac. It has 2 bleeders on it. Also mine has 2 wheel cylinders per wheel, that have to be bled.
Did you bench bleed the master cyl.?
