New to the site an already need help! Brake problems

Hello y'all! I have a 06 ranger 2.3 auto with 139k miles on it 2 door with roll up windows. Nothing special about it but I just how I want it. I've had it for 6 years an been loving it!
So I changed out the rear drum brakes with the wheel cylinders. When I THOUGHT that I was done, took it out for a test drive I left one of the bleeder valves open an lost most of my brake fluid. Replenished it, an when I was bleeding the system the pedal went stiff an won't move down but an inch.Turned the truck on, pedal goes down but stiffens up again. Opened both rear bleeders an no brake fluid even when pressing on the brake pedal. I replaced the booster with the master cylinder about 5 years ago. Even the ABS system 4 years ago.. What could it be??

Welcome to the forum

Did the Master ever run out of brake fluid?
If so then 4WABS unit may have air inside, and you need a special electrical plug in device to open valves to bleed it
