This morning I was driving my 1988 ford f-150 down the highway and it started shaking kinda. It's hard to explain. I pulled over when I got into town and looked it over. I drove it home and the more i drove the less brakes i had. The brakes had been squeaking a few days before. Now, a few hours later i have NO brakes. Can someone tell me what is going on.

Thanks
Brian

Two things to check out, one take your wheels off in the front, take a look at your rotors, look at the pads, make sure they’re intact. Also make sure there is some meat left on the pads.
If that checks out take a look at you brake fluid reservoir, make sure its up to the line.
Something may be up with the booster, do what I said let us know what you find.

My dad got home from Canada last night, we went through it all today and a few seals had went bad. The bearings and everything seemed ok. Took it out for a drive and everything seems fine.
