likely a problem with the prop valve. pull the lines and have someone pump, check fluid output directly

I don't know I'm assuming it is because it pumps fluid to two wheels only...but ill check if it pumps fluid out of those two lines before it reaches the prop valve

Driver front and passenger rear involve the REAR half of the master cylinder. That circuit seems to have been bled of air.

I think you've just got a lot of air still left in the other circuit. Keep bleeding the driver's rear and passenger front.

Are you using the pedal-pump method or a Mity-Vac?

The pedal pump...I've been pumping for days...when I unpluged the lines from the mc prop. valve only the rear line was pumping out fluid, so Ima bench bleed it...but could it also be the prop. valve?

try bleeding at the MC-in vehicle
it's the highest point of the system, so air gets trapped there easily

usually if i replace calipers or lines, i like to gravity bleed. that is, crack the bleeders and let the air purge on it's own.
also, if the master cylinder is replaced, you want to bleed there, since it's high up in the system and air is easily trapped there
