I had the same problem when I did my '71. It ended up that there was a
build-up of rust behind the bleed valves on the rear drums. I was able to use a
small wire to break the rust loose and bleed them as they should. Good luck.

Did you bench bleed the master cylinder first? Does your
proportioning valve have a button on the front? If so depress that first.

Does the prop valve look like this one:
http://www.inlinetube.com/images/Prop%20Valves/pr106.jpg that is the button
on the left. My GM service manual (for 72) says that button needs to be
pushed in when bleeding rear brakes. They have an explaination, but honestly
its been so long that I can't remember the details. Something to do with the
auto shut off of fluid (safety feature) if you get a leak at either the front
or rear I think.
