I thought there were only 2 bleeders on each rear calliper. Where is the 3rd bleeder? I have a 76 and only know where 2 bleeders are.

Incorrect...you ONLY bleed the forward facing bleeders on the rear calipers, that third one facing rearward had a plug in it from the factory, whoever rebuilt your calipers was out of plugs the day yours were rebuilt.
