Brake Bleeding sequence

[Follow Ups] [Post Followup] [Dodge Power Wagon Forum]

I understand that you should bleed brakes in the following sequence, but why?
From the front of the truck:
1)Left rear
2)Right rear
3)Left front
4)Right front
I ask this because my '61 (firetruck) has a brake line setup that isn't standard. Lots of extra lines going to a vacuum booster and Mico lock. I've opened the system in numerous locations and want the know the best way to get all the air out. I'm planning on pressurizing the whole system and bleeding the hell out of it. Just want to understand the theory.
Thanks in advance.
