An old timer once taught me a trick for one man brake bleeding on a dry system. I've refined it a bit by using Teflon tape to seal the treads on the bleeder valve. FWIW, here it is:

Supplies:
Brake fluid - 1 small bottle and 1 large
Teflon plumbers tape
1 Small cardboard box ~ 12"x12"
1 Six pack of beer (longneck bottles)
Handtools and a pocket knife

1> Brush any dirt or gunk from the area and remove all four bleeder valves
2> Clean the threads and surrounding area
3> Wrap 2-3 layers of Teflon plumbers tape around the threads and install the bleeder valves finger tight
4> Determine how much aquarium hose you need to go from the bleeder valve nipple to a 1/2" off the ground
5> Cut four lengths of hose to length
6> Empty four beer bottles (fun part) and add ~2" of brake fluid to each bottle
7> Drop the hoses into the bottles and set them next to the wheels
8> Crawl under the truck and attach the hoses to the nipples (dirty part)
9> Cut a piece of cardboard slightly bigger the master cylinder cover
10> Cut a 1" hole in the middle of the cardboard
11> Shove a small cardboard box under the master cylinder to catch any spillage
12> Fill the master cylinder
13> Stick the top of the brake fluid container thru the hole in the cardboard
14> Upend the brake fluid container onto the master cylinder
>> NOTE: Same as mounting a new bottle on a water cooler
15> Balance a medium size bolt on the edge of the brake fluid bottle
16> Get in the truck and pump the brakes until you hear the bolt fall in the box
17> Crawl under the truck and close all the bleeder valves

If you are lucky - You have a hard pedal

Let the beer wear off before driving
