Description of the problem	On september 29, 2010, i was driving my truck on rt. 66 west approaching linden va. At approximately 65 mph when traffic began to stop abruptly because of roadwork. I was in the left lane and applied my brakes. At this time my brake pedal went to the floor. I had begun my stop far enough away from traffic ahead of me that i was able to slow down without hitting anyone in front of me. I moved my truck over to the right shoulder, then onto the ramp for the linden va. Exit and then parked on the shoulder there. When i got out of the truck i found a puddle of brake fluid quickly forming under my truck, below the left frame rail behind the left front wheel. When i looked up to see where the fluid was coming from, i found the leak coming from a bundle or four brake lines, that were heavily corroded, that ran beside the frame rail. At this time i made arrangements to have the truck towed to my residence. At the time i was towing a single axle utility trailer. The truck has not yet been repaired. This truck is a 2003 gmc sierra 1500 hd crew cab short bed, 8600 gvw. It is nearly identical in equipment to a 2500 hd crew cab short bed. I purchased this vehicle new.
