Soft break pedal?!
When I stop, my break pedal is firm at first then a couple of seconds latter the pedal get's soft? 
What's the problem? Is there air in my lines?

I recently changed the pad but I thought I did a good job on bleeding the break's. Then again maybe NOT!
It doesn't sink all the way to the floor, it just gets soft.

If you recently changed the pads and bled the brakes, then you could have some air in the lines. When you change the pads, you really do not need to bleed them unless you expose the system to air somehow.
Time for a rebleed!

Id say a new master cylinder, unless you got air in the lines. The best thing i have spent money on so far is a one man brake bleeder. It was like 10 bucks at shucks. all it is is a tube that runs to a reservoir (sp?) that has a magnet on it so you can attach it to the truck. Just hook it up pump the brakes a little and your all done! Its definately better than laying on the ground, in the rain, getting brake fluid all over. Man i was mad that day!
