clutch issues

alright so my clutch line blew and since ive got a manual tranny i just shifted till i got to canadian tire and did and quick fix in the parking lot and re bled the system but there is still no pressure behind the pedal so my conclusion is that i blew my slave. would this sound correct to anyone or have any other ideas ? i can start the truck with the clutch to the floor and then push and through it in first and away it will go it will also start in first and then just immediately go.

What year truck?

The hydraulic master cylinder is very difficut (approaching impossible) to bleed on the truck. Before I pulled the transmission, I would pull the clutch MC and bench bleed it.

actually it sounds as if you have air in the master cyl! Possibly some in the slave but I would bet on the master 1st since you probably puked it all out and then the air got in. The MC is the biggest possibility.
