Most brakes are bled the same way... but it will take two of you to do it.
First step is to remove the wheel from one side. Then, you will need to have the vehicle running with one person in the drivers seat, loosten the small zerk like fitting on the brake caliper, have the person in the car step on the brake and hold it in, allow the air and some brake fluid to leak out and then tighten the fitting BEFORE the brake is released. Pump the brake pedal a few times and repeat this until only fluid comes out in a steady stream and no air. Repeat for the other side.
MAKE SURE you have the max amount of brake fluid in your master cylinder PRIOR to doing the bleeding!!!

The easiest way is to jack you truck up enough so you can fit under it. You will see a small usually silver fitting near where the brake line comes to each prake assembly. Have someone else get in the truck and pump the brake peddle several times, then hold pressure on it. Loosen the fitting to allow air/fluid to bubble out until the peddle hits bottom. repeat this until you only get fluid out. repeat this for the remaining 3 brakes. Refill your brake fluid.

have some one to pump and hold the brakes, you get under the truck right rear wheel longest line from slave cylinder. tell him to pump the brakes and hold til you break the bleeder on the wheeel when the air escapes lock it back down and do the same thing till all the air is out., make sure in between this you keep a check on the fluid level.

there should be a small bolt sticking out of the side of the brake caliber Assembly. make sure you have a =en ought fluid in your brake fluid reservoir and turn the bolt slowly to fluid starts to drain out.pump the breaks to no air comes out, put some ting under to catch the fluid and try not to get it on your hands and don't get it on the paint work.....bleed about 100mls out and tighten the bolt back up pump the breaks to make shore there are no air bubbles in the lines and repeat to the other side........don't put the old fluid back in the reservoir
