Ummm... uh-oh! No brakes! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Well, driving home this evening with several inches of snow on the ground and more on the way, I discovered that I had zero pedal resistance until I hit the floor. Fortunately, I had just enough to creep to a stop when I needed to and traffic wasn't moving more than 5 mph so I got 'er home. I'm betting the system done sprung itself a leak and I've got no fluid.

Even better, my garage is packed full of woodworking tools meaning my only choices are fix this thing in 13F wind and snow or haul it in to somebody. For you fellas that picked the latter option, how much did a brake job cost (assuming the master cylinder is okay)?
