no such thing as a stupid question bandit....allways glad to help out a fellow Ford owner 
you should be sure you use new parts like clutch plates etc....also throw out bearings use new....even if the tranny looks good change em its cheaper now than later.....now the bleeding is JUST like the brakes on your truck...pump pump pump pump ...hold...........loosten bleeder screw, let out pressure....still holding pedal....tighten bleeder screw....pump pump pump pump.....hold....and so on till you get a firm clutch.....be sure to regularly check the levels on the fluid to be sure you dont run her dry....if you need anything else shout.
