I changed brake pads and shoes and when I went to check the brake pedal it went all the way to floor and would not actuate front discs. I bled all lines and found the front driver caliper having constant air. When the bleeders are closed there is no leaking though. The rear brakes try to work but not well at all. Brake fluids are always full.

Good morning,

You will need to do the automated bleed sequence to get rid of the air.

I attached the process below. You will need a scan tool for this procedure.

The other thing is the caliper. Is the bleeder at the top of the caliper and not at the bottom?
