I know how
First you half to remove the master cylender and the line that runs to the tranny. You half to remove it because the angle the master cylender is mounted at wont allow it to blead when on the truck.
Then with the master out of the truck hold it with the clutch rod pointed straight up in the air and push down on the rod with one hand.
Once you have it depresed push in on the quick disconect on the end of the tranny line to releave the fluid.
Repeat this bleading process four or five times then reinstall the master and reconect the tranny line.

try this this is from my experience with a 94 model, may be the same for you.
inside the cab, pull the starter interlock from the clutch rod, disconnect the rod from the pedal arm. You will see a circlip in the master over the piston. Pull the circlip, pull the piston till just the air and a little fluid escapes, pump the master a couple of strokes repeat the above, reasemble than bleed per the manual, open the bleeder and let gravity bleed. Might have to bleed the bleeder a couple of times, biggest thing is the air in the master.
