Sorry if its been covered already, I searched but couldn't find anything.

Last night I started my 1994 F-150 and the ABS light and the Brake light stayed lit up. Also I had to press the brake pedal to the floor to get it to work. Drove to mini mart down the street and back and brakes never came back to normal.

Any idea on what I'll need to fix and how deep I'll have to reach into my wallet.

Have you checked the fluid level in the master cylinder? You may have a breached line or wheel cylinder and have only FRONT or REAR braking capabilities. You may also have a failed BOOSTER. I would start with checking the fluid level as it's the easiest thing to check.
