I am not sure where the lines run on a C-10. You bleed the furthest from the master first. On my C-20 that was the driver side rear then the passenger side rear. The hardline from the master goes down the passenger frame rail, then to a rubber hose then a T to each wheel so the drivers side rear is furthest.

I have read a lot of threads on bleeding. Many suggest to gravity bleed.

I bench bled my master until I was SURE there was no more air.

Then I use a pressure bleeder to pressurize the system and did the drivers rear first then the others. It took many times and filling the master many times but it's solid now.

Hope that helps some.
Maybe someone can chime in on where the brake line routes on the C-10.

Every other vehicle I have owned, the passenger rear was first then the driver rear then passenger front and finally drivers front.
