Possibly Obvious Brake Bleeding Question

On my 67 I am just finishing up the brakes. I still have the 4 wheel manual drums, but everything except the hard lines and master cylinder is new. Hopefully this gets me some good brakes until I'm ready to upgrade. Anyway, I will want to bleed them when I am done (flush any old fluid out of the system as well). I would start at the right rear as it is normally furthest away from the master cylinder in my experience. I see on this truck, the rear brake line comes over to the right side of the axle and then splits. This makes the left rear the furthest away. Should I start bleeding with the left rear? This makes sense to me, but I would like a little backup since it's not what I would normally do.

Thanks,

Adam

Re: Possibly Obvious Brake Bleeding Question

This info is strait out of the 1967 Chassis Service Manual Quoit ( Bleeding should be done on the longest line first; the proper sequence to follow is left rear, right rear, right front, and left front.)

Didn't even think to look in the manual-- bleeding brakes seems so basic. That will teach me!

Thanks!
