It would have drum brakes on it with an upper and lower wheel cylinder on the front. When you say you have no brakes, does that mean none at all or just none in the front. If it has them on one end but not the other, then it might have a proportioning (safety) valve that is off center. You can look up on the internet how to get it back to center if that's the case. For part numbers to repair it with, you can go to the raybestos web sit and look them up there.
Try bleeding the system starting with the wheel furthest (by length of brake line) from the brake pedal first and finishing at the closest wheel. If while pressing the brake pedal air bubbles appear in the master cylinder or the level rises and falls in the reservoir, the master cylinder needs work.
