e: In case this wasn't apparent, this wasn't a fluke thing - GMT400 / 800 series trucks are notorious for premature failure in brake lines, it's very common. Go over every inch of your brake lines, (especially the bundle behind the driver's side front wheel) even if the rest of the truck looks good. Chances are, you're fine (since this truck came from a no-salt area) but it only takes a few minutes to get a quick visual.

No recalls or anything on this? Subaru had one on the legacy (I owned an 08 GT) a few years ago about rusting lines. That's downright scary.

I think GM went to court and successfully argued that the hard brake lines are a normal wear item. Another reason I was looking for a southern car.

Edit: Yep - http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-04-09/gm-avoids-recall-of-2-million-trucks-for-corroded-brake-lines

That's amazing. Subaru just threw some wax on the hardlines and called it good. Basically what kastein is saying.
