Den,
Here is a video off the web for making an inexpensive pressure bleeder from a garden sprayer.
Since we are dealing with a vintage truck, you can’t go into Car-Quest for a MC cap. So,
I bought an extra power wagon master cylinder cap from a supplier like VPW (used is OK), and modified it by welding closed the little vent in it and also drilling a hole through the top for a barbed fitting to accept the vinyl hose from the bleeder.
Works great and it was the ONLY way I could bleed the brakes with the vacuum booster in the system.
