Trouble bleeding drum brakes

Thanks to Berto for helping me with my new brake lines today. Unfortunately, now I have new brake lines, fresh fluid, and have bled the front disc brakes on my C10 but the REAR DRUMS WON'T BLEED! :(

 

I've totally taken out the bleeder valves and pumped like a mofo, but no fluid or air is spitting out. Am I missing something here?

You have to run a line from the bleeder into a small fluid bottle, make sure the line is submerged in fluid. Then open the valve and have someone push the pedal to the floor slowly, then close the valve and release, repeat until all air is gone.
