I made my own, similar to this one:

Just replace the cap they used with one that fits our brake reservoir.

Ended up making me the power bleeder. Makes a hell of a mess. The vehicle should be running Right?? It fills the reservoir to the rim when lifting it off and spills out just to get the stock cap back on. I didn't get much air out of the calipers anyways. Anything else I should be doing??

There's no reason for the truck to be running.

As said, truck stays off.
I just use the air pressure from the canister, I don't put any brake fluid in the canister. Just keep an eye on your reservoir level to make sure it doesn't get low. When you need to relieve pressure from you canister just unscrew the top from your power bleeder very slowly. No mess for me.

After I adjusted the e_brake levers on my rear calipers correctly,changed proportion valve,and a 50/50 master,all that made a big difference in performance.

Mind you, it's still 40 year old technology. Unless you throw down for some multi -pistoned calipers and larger rotors.
