If you want to rebuild your slave instead of buying one here's some good instructions.

Problem:

When trying to replace or bleed the clutch slave cylinder I found it nearly impossible to do because of clearance with the floorboard. The bleeder screw is on top of the cylinder and there is also a bolt that you simply cannot get to without lower the transmission.

Solution:

There is nothing inside the passenger compartment where the slave cylinder is. I decided to drill a small hole from the underside to give me an idea of where to start cutting an opening. I cut the hole 3" high x 10" wide on 3 sides and then folded the metal up. This gave perfect access to the slave cylinder. I was even able to bleed it from inside the cab!!

Once you're done fold the metal back down and screw some diamond plate over it after spraying with under coating to seal the hole.

I'll add more here including pictures in the next few months.
