Brake ?
Hello guys i recently had some work done to my 1990 F-350. Well the truck had been setting up for about 2 1/2 years. Anyway i went i was riding around town and had been having problems with fuse links blowing on the truck. I know that has nothing to do with the brakes i am just giving you a rundown that for the last week i have seen smoke in different areas. Anyway the truck got to almost bouncing when it was riding down the road. I started smelling and seeing smoke. well i pulled off the road and noticed that the front breaks were smoking . I then looked closer and saw they were fire a little. Any suggestions on what to do? I will put a picture that shows what was burning. I sprayed it off with water

Sounds like the caliper pistons are seized causing the brake to stick on and overheat. It could also possibly have been caused by a defective rubber flexi brake hose.
Given what you say about the truck, if it was me, I would get two reman calipers, new pads and two new rubber front brake hoses and you should have no more problems.
