anyone know brake system fluid capacity?

I need to fill/bleed entire (probably 95% dry) system on my short bed 66 C10-
I have front disc/rear drum master and proportioning valve from an 83 - mounted on the front of frame like the 83, new rear wheel cylinders and mostly new steel lines.
3 or 4 quarts do it?

One should do it... but I would have another just in case. I have never used more then a quart for a whole system.

Same here. One bottle is typically more than enough but it always pays to have an extra on hand incase you loose alot of fluid trying to get it bled out.
