I just got done installing all new lines, wheel cylinders, shoes on my F250 and it took less than 1 quart to fill and bleed the system. I didn't bench bleed by master cylinder, but my whole body is off the truck and everything is super easy to get to and check. I also have the stock master cylinder.

I bought speed bleeders and that made the job so easy.

These only fit the F1 or F100 but I was able to get the right size for me at O'Reilly.
