Please go back to the basics. Pull all four wheels and inspect the brakes, clean and adjust all four wheels ( rears if you have front discs) THEN, bleed the system. A low pedal can be from brakes out of adjustment, or something wrong inside the master cylinder. I am a big fan of replacing the brake fluid in our old trucks. Brake fluid is hydroscopic SP. Meaning that it will absorb water, hence the rusty/mud that first came out of your bleeders.
