Help me please!!!

Alright guys i need help. Today i drove over to my grannys. When i decided to leave i stepped on the brake and it went to the floor i got out looked under the truck and the rear break line blew. I managed to push the truck into her garage for the night. But my problem is i need to get my truck home to my shop to fix the line. can i just unhook the rear line where it connects to the master cylinder and put a plug in the bleed the front? I need this truck for this weekend

Is it the hose? Plug a brake line as far back as you can before the rupture. How far do you have to go?

Did a brake job on a gals gran prix. Over 100,000 miles and finally needed rear brakes. All because she was such a good driver. The rear wheel cylinders leaked like sivs( how do you spell sivs,civs,?). The brakes shoes were still good but had not moved in years.
Front brakes do most of the work. Back drums that are out of adjustment really don't do much. Just always be careful and do it in as little traffic as possible just to be extra cautious.
Good luck.

If you can I would plug it at the rear junction block. The master will work too. Make sure your rears are adjusted up just in case it comes down to the e-brake.
Good luck.
