On till you get it straightened out do one of 2 things. Park it or put the correct size tires on it. And if it's not right with the correct size tires. Park it. It's a danger to all on or near the road including yourself.
Its been fine , its not the tires etc , it just happened and i haven't driven it since they problem started , just tried to fix it
Look heres the easyest thing to do go get a brake booster for a 2500 that's what I had to do when I lifted my 81 Scottsdale
Replace the rubber hose going to the brake caliper. Same thing happened to my '88 yesterday after sitting up for two years. (It needed another transmission). My Uncle had owned a shop for 40 years. Couldn't find a definite answer on here so I called him. He said that rubber hose collapses on the inside. The fluid is not strong enough to push it back out so fluid can't push through there. He was right! The parts cost $20
