RABS Bypassed??

So, I'm attempting to bleed my brake system on my 90 F250, but I can't seem to find the RABS bleeder valve. It is my understanding that this bleeder valve is under the bed on the driver's side. I traced the brake line to this point, but I don't see a RABS bleeder valve. I see the picture below instead.

Am I looking in the right place? Does this picture look like the RABS has been replaced and/or bypassed?

I think that's a normal, factory union you're looking at. The rabs valve is further forward, around the middle of the drivers door, I believe.

X2

Mine is approximately in line with the a-pillar underneath the truck on the drivers side

Ok. Found the RABS bleeder valve and attempted to bleed it. There only seemed to be a small amount of fluid coming out each time I opened the valve. Am I doing something wrong or should I just stay the course?
