It does make much difference which side you start with as long as you dont let run dry

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.
Haven't seen one hooked to the steering pump but haven't everything . I will start at the master and work my way back .

the rear wheels have 2 wheel cylinders each, but it looks like only one bleeder on each side.
That is normal . If you have access to a power bleeder it will make the job a whole lot easier .Shoe adjustment is the key to keeping good pedal height . The hydro vac has a limited stroke .
