Brake caliper not tightening on rotor after replacing hub, caliper, rotor and pads

What is your question?

I have replaced the hub, caliper, rotor, and pads on the front passenger side of my 92 gmc Jimmy and now i am getting no tension from my caliper on the rotor when i try to bleed the line. What's going on? I've recently also replaced the brake lines leading to the rear drum brakes.

No tension from then caliper -- meaning the caliper piston is not moving when pressing the brake pedal? Sounds like air in the lines that will require continued bleeding attempts. In fact, it's likely you have a significant amount of air in the system overall due to multiple component replacement. Be patient and take the time to bleed each line. If you have anti-lock brakes, which I think you should, you'll need to bleed that system as well.
