I still havent been able to get my truck on the road! All the brakes bleed besides the rear left. My peddle just goes straight to the floor. What am I doing wrong?!

Okay the left rear should be the second wheel that you do after the passenger rear, however you probably already know that. If you are only getting a small amount of pressure to none at all out of the right rear the problem is probably going to be a stuck piston on the wheel cylinder ( note: the cylinder does not have to leak to be frozen up). Take the drum off of the truck and see if when you can depress the pistons of the wheel cylinder easily with the bleeder screw open.
