Oh crap!!!! No breaks!!!

[chickenwing]

Well it was a pretty good day. Went over to SactoC10's and tried to help with his fuel vent problem. Talked trucks, showed off my new paint and had a good time. Went over for the big wingding. Stuffed myself silly, and took a nap. Wife was drawing up the battle plans for tomarrows shopping extravaganza with her girlfriend, so I decided to go for a movie.

Now it gets interesting. Coming from a long strech of open road doin 60ish, I went into a left hand turn lane and hit the brakes. Heard a muffled pop and the pedal went down to the floor. Brake light winked on. Kinda lost my cool. Was running out of lane fast. Looked right real quick. Whew no traffic. Jogged over and hit the emer. brake came to a good stop fairly quick on the shoulder.

Popped my hood. No fluid on outside of booster or anywhere else. Got to the back and there was fluid all over my diff.. Got back in did some checking. Was pretty sure front brakes should still work with the back system open. I was right!! Had to go all the way to the floor and mash a bit harder than I was used to but they worked!

Got her home. Grabbed my daughter to work the brakes and started investigating. Fluid is coming out of the left rear solid brake line b-nut at the distribution block. Looks like sombody stepped on it when the bed was off at the paint shop.

Questions!! Are these rigid lines available at the local stores? They have that spring armor stuff on them. I know they are going to ask me wich axle I have. I think it is a Dana 60. Would someone confirm? If I have to junk-yard this part what year/model trucks will have this axle?

Thanks for all input.
