1988 Chevy Silverado bleed lines


Greeteings,
I replaced front pads, rear wheel cylinder, rear brake line and master cylinder. Bled the rear brakes, then the master cylinder then front brakes. But the brake pedal goes to the floor when the truck is on. the brakes work but the pedal is squisshy. Is there a certain order that I need to follow to bleed the brakes?
Thanks
