f350 brakes

2000 F350 rear brakes. brake pedal goes way down and the brakes grab sometimes. Test drove and didn't hear any unusual noises but did experience the low pedal. Brought it into the shop and checked the master cylinder and found that there was almost no fluid in the reservoir. Looked under the vehicle and found the leak. the right rear had fluid leaking on the floor. Removed the wheel and found the inboard brake pad had been metal to metal so long that it became so thin that it fell out between the caliper bracket and the rotor. Then the caliper pistons moved out and the pistons were the new friction surface trying to stop the rotor from turning. Didn't work so well. the upper piston broke into pieces and the fluid leaked out. Good thing the brakes are separated so the front brakes still are able to work and stop the truck. It was a little scary but it did stop.
