Description of the problem	i lost brakes on a return trip from shopping trip at a near by town . I was able to stop by using the emergency brake in time to prevent hitting the vehicle stopped ahead of me at a red light. I was able to get my vehicle home by driving at very low speed and using the emergency brake with without any further incident . I attempted to repair the corroded section of the line . While bleeding the brake lines another section rupture . Upon further inspection i discovered all the lines were corroding and needed to be replaced . Also all the couplings on the fuel lines are corroded . My truck has been sitting in my drive way for lack of the funds to get it repaired . The estimate for the brake lines to be repaired is about $1200. 00. I haven't got a clear estimate for the fuel line couplings because the might also have to be replaced if they can't be repaired . The fuel lines other wise are not corroded.
