no front brakes
i just bought a 1989 f-250 4x4 it runs ok but i just realized the front brakes are not working. all brakeing power is from the rear which is not that great as you can imagine. where should i start to look for my problem. 5.8 liter power assist brakes. master cylinder has the proportioning valve. i have a haynes manual but don't know where to start trouble shooting. need help please!

Try..
See if you can bleed the brakes.

You might have something in the lines or there is a clog in the calipers.
