Yes. Disc front/drum rear has been the most common configuration for many years, though disc front and rear is becoming more common among the manufacturers.

What does brake?

Are service brake lines and control brake lines the same thing on an air brake system?
The service brake is the one which applies the brakes - the emergency brake system is the system which releases the spring brakes.
Do I have to bleed the brakes after I change a brake reservoir if it is still full of brake fluid?
Yes, bleeding the brakes removes air bubbles that might be left in the system, especially in the brake lines!If not done every time the brake system is worked on the brakes will be unreliable and unsafe!
What brake pedal is the cause of air being in the brake system?
The brake pedal has nothing to do with it. If air is in the system then bleed the brakes.
What is the most commonly used brakes on an air brake system with drum brakes?
S-cam brakes.
What kind of line is it that goes to the steering system from the brake system?

A parking brake system is not required if your service brakes are fully?
A parking brake system is not required if your service brakes are fully self-locking. Air brake systems (on semis, for instance) hold the brakes open only when air is supplied. If you blow the air the brakes lock under spring pressure.
When applying pressure to brakes lightly brakes lose compression Why?
faulty master brake system
What are brake chambers?
On an air brake system, the brake chamber is what actuates the air brakes... it converts air pressure to mechanical force, either turning an S-cam (on foundation brakes), or actuating a caliper (on disc brakes).
Why is it important to check your brake fluid?
Your brake fluid is how the brake system converts mechanical force of your foot on the brake pedal, into hydraulic force that applies your brakes. Without fluid, your hydraulic brakes will not function.
