Does the clutch master cylinder have bleeding issues like the slave cylinder?

They can be a pita it's really best to bleed everything out of the truck and elevate the slave cylinder so the air works up to the bleeder. There's a video on YouTube of how to do it

Replace the slave too, unless you like bleeding clutch hydraulics for kicks.
The air will end up in the slave and then your gonna have a heck of a time. Bench bleeding both is the way to go

The clutch line kit from Russ repair is worth the money in my mind. It really does make it pretty simple. Hook everything up in the truck, fill the master with fluid, open the bleeder on the slave, and close it once the fluid starts to come out, pump the pedal a few times and you're done. The 90 deg fitting goes to the Master cylinder (there weren't any instructions or drawings).
