I had similar problems on a Ford pickup that I was fixing for a friend.

Several days of aggravation and quarts of fluid later and I realized I had
put the calipers on the wrong sides of the front. Meaning that the bleeders
were lower than the top of the calipers, allowing air to stay in the top of
that piece.

I don't know if you replaced those or not, but that ruined a day or two for
me.
