Default Bleeding the master cylinder?

I just replaced my rotors, pads, drums, shoes and rear wheel cylinders and I need to bleed the system. I tried searching for an answer before posting this question as well.

Do you need to bleed the master cylinder on a 99' 1500 4x4? I dont even see bleeder screws on it. I ask this because a lot of older cars I have had needed the master bled whenever the brakes needed bleeding.

Shouldn't. Remove the lid and bleed as usual while keeping the reservoir topped at all times.

If you got it completely empty while you were doing the other work you might want to bleed it.
