I have a 67 Chevy PU. The front end is from a newer model, and has disc brakes.

I haven't driven the truck much in the couple of years since I bought it.

The last time I drove it, after about 1/2 mile the right front brake locked completely up, and the back reservoir on the Master was very low.

Any ideas what this might be?

I'm not sure if I was ever as good as I thought I was, but I know I'm not as good as I used to be.
I've forgotten more than I ever knew. Okay, where did I put it?

Sounds like it could be either a stuck caliper or a bad rubber line. I believe if you crack the bleeder on that side fluid should come out if it's a bad line (after pressure has been applied and that side is locked up). If no fluid comes out I would take a look a the caliper itself.

Thanks! I figured it's either the caliper or a line. Just curious.
