Default Bleeding Brakes issue

Today i was bleeding the brakes on my 1988 f150 XL-Lariat
but not very much fluid was coming form the right rear, but i got a lot from the left rear and right front. Why is no brake fluid coming out of the brakes.

The bleeder fitting is plugged or at least obstructed, remove it all the way and step on brake to blow out the crud from the cylinder, clean or replace fitting, bleed again and should be good to go. Remember, if fitting is removed, fluid should flow and bleed brakes by gravity alone.

I had this problem with my truck and the wheel cylinder was screwed up. I took it as far as to replace the rubber hose that runs to the fluid lines that go to both the left and right rear brake lines. I also replaced the wheel cylinders on both sides. All was well after that.
