I was not sure which one went out so I thought what the heck, replace em both. Now the question is, what the best way to bleed em both. Can I do it by myself? I rigged up a way to keep the pedal depressed after pumping but no luck so far...

if you've got the room to install it as a unit you can set it up on bench and bleed the whole unit and then install it as a unit

Nice to have friends handy. I was able to bleed the clutch slave cylinder by myself on my '84 S10 4x4, but that was a smaller truck.
