Probably not bleeding them correctly. I suggest he have a helper (you) keep the reservoir topped off while using a MityVac to suck the old fluid out.

We have use one of them and we have tried pumping with our feet and nothing is working he knows it getting fluid down to the t type thing or whatever you want to call it it's the pice that the two back brake lines come off of and the two front lines come off of but no fluid from there

The van is nearly 40 years old. You may need to rebuild the master cylinder and wheel cylinders and replace brake lines due to rust. Replace the flex lines too.

Pull each section of said line and hit them with some air.... sitting there may have gummed them up.... after that, flush with brake cleaner and try bleeding them again
