| While backing up the truck to hook up to a trailer, i pressed the brake pedal and it went to the floor. the brakes failed. i pressed the pedal a few more times and heard brake fluid leaking from outside the cab somewhere, somewhere under the driver seat. after looking around the master cylinder and firewall i traced the lines along the frame and found that all four lines along the frame rail were severely rusted/corroded. at least one line had rusted through and was leaking fluid. the brake system lost pressure and the truck can only be slowed by using the parking brake. *tr | |||
