79 Chevy k10 brake issues

Asked by AnmlMoth3r Oct 19, 2018 at 12:50 PM about the 1979 Chevrolet C/K 10 Cheyenne

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My Chevy 79' K10's brakes have gone out. Brake fluid level looks good, and I
see no visible signs of leakage anywhere. Pressing the brake pedal does slow
the vehicle slightly, and eventually it will stop, but barely.

Check your master cylinder, seal around piston is likely shot.
