What is my brake problem?
I have a 78 crew cab 4x4. My brakes became soft and then eventually non existant one day. I found no sign of any leaks anywhere except I noticed a trickle coming out of the master cylinder. I opened it and brake fluid went everywhere. Some how all of the fluid got pumped into the front chamber. Could it be the master cylinder or the valve down on the frame? If anyone has any ideas, please respond. Any feed back would be appreciated.

It's the master cylinder. The seals have failed and you need to buy a new one. They're not expensive, but don't buy a cheap one either. You'll need to bleed at all four wheels after you replace it, but it's very straightforward.
