not sure why using some brake line and compression fittings was such a bad idea. much easier then trying to bend lines to match. not to mention it was a small hole towards the end of one line.

will buy brake parts when i can afford it. as stated before.

The bleeder is a $1 part. If you can't get it out with an easy-out, a whole caliper is $30. Brake lines are way too cheap not to replace. Once you have that line and bleeder replaced you can bleed the brakes and your pedal will come back....with no light. That "small hole" may have just been the weakest link. Again, if you can't verify that brake line failed due to mechanical abrasion, you have to assume they are all in that shape. Brake fluid is very hygroscopic so it's not uncommon to have water in these old truck brake lines...and the resultant corrosion/rust problems. The compression fitting will not hold up. It will also put you in a bad situation should you have an accident. Please fix it correctly.
