Ford E-Series Van Repair Question

Brakes
I replaced calipers and brake pads, mastercylinder and
roters (discs) I bench bleed mastercylinder twice till it was kind of hard to push screw driver in, I installed master cylinder and bleed the brakes beginng with right rear,left rear,right front,left front, each time the pedal would come up but when we stopped
bleeding and waited for 5 or so minutes then pumped again the pedal would again go to floor we did this like 5 times no signs of air. I can hear rear brakes moving but it seems like front caliper pistons are not moving out! what is the problem? please help it is driving me nuts!!!!!
when I first checked the problem the right front caliper piston had frozen out and completly wore the brake pad down to bare metal. could it have been the proportioning valve also? I can'nt figure it out
please help!!!

Obviously there could be a leak, but I was going to ask if the master cylinder was new or rebuilt. Don't rule out that even though it is new or rebuilt that it still can be defective.
