brakes on a 66 C60

I picked up a nice 66 60 series, (pics when I get it home).

As far as I could tell the master cylinder is bad.. the floor mat is all stained from the fluid, and the m/c was empty.. -the truck sat for 4 years, and judging by the empty brake fluid bottles on the seat, the brakes probably wern't too hot 4 years ago either!

the master cylinder is similar to a 60-62 c 10, the truck has a hydraulic clutch.

I have a new m/c on order, and will bench bleed it before go out to the ranch to install it.

which do I bleed first? clutch or brakes?

the system has a hydrovac unit under the cab, I think it is a vacuum booster and a slave cylinder, it also looks to be connected to the power steering pump.

the rear wheels have 2 wheel cylinders each, but it looks like only one bleeder on each side.



any tips /instructions/ pionters would be a great help!
