Default 1963 Chevy C10 Brake Bleeding

Recently purchased a 63 Chevy C10. Straight 6. Drove it home. Following the weekend when the truck wasnt driven and in an attempt to go to work on Monday, the brakes went to the floor.

Upon further search the Master Cylinder fluid level (which has no booster) was below the entrance to the brake line. My inquiry is regarding resolution of this issue.

Is this simply a air in the line and need of bleeding issue? Pls advise as to also the bleeder valve (each wheel) and if I would need to break this down by taking each wheel off.

In advance, I thank you.

check for any leaks,if not lube the bleeder's on the wheel cylinder's down will some kroil penetrant .fill the waster cylinder and try to bleed the furthest bleeder .and so on .if they break off then you have to tear down and replace .!
