1 Brake Light On problem

Failure Date: 09/07/2013

My wife was driving my truck a 2006 Silverado and said the brake light came on so I filled it up didn't think much of it did a quick look didn't see anything 2 weeks later she said it was on again so I filled it up again and this time did a thorough inspection checked the master cylinder, booster started checked each caliper and nothing so I got under the truck and its leaking from the middle of the truck under the drivers seat the brake lines are all rusty. I do all of my work on my cars but this looks ridiculous where do you start rip them all out and replace all? they are on top of the frame rail which look impossible to get to it looks like its going to be a lot of money is there a recall for this? I hope some can help me out the truck is very clean especially underneath that's the only thing rusted out of everything.
