Brake line broke....
So I got done installing my plow today on my truck, and when I go to get into my truck and drive away I notice my e-brake light and ABS light is on. I put my foot on the brake pedal and it goes to the floor, really fast and doesn't build pressure back. I turn the truck off and look in all the wheel wells and notice my drivers side brake line burst (rusted at the fitting). I got replacement line, and put it in, then replaced all the missing fluid. Now when I push the brake, it won't build up pressure again, it keeps going to the floor. I'm assuming this is because I haven't bled the brakes-will bleeding the brakes fix this issue? The fluid hasn't changed level since I filled it up. Any help is greatly appreciated.

As long as air didn't get into the master cylinder (the fluid level didn't drop too much), bleeding the brakes on that axle should fix it. If air got in you probably need to bleed everything.
