I hit a man hole with the right tire on my truck now it grinds, and scrap, and the brake pedal goes to the floor sometimes but not all the time

First thing to check is the rim, that's what usually gets damaged by large potholes. If the bent part of the rim contacts the brake caliper, it could knock it around, and give you a brake pedal problem. If you have aluminum rims, DO NOT try to hammer out the bent area! It will break off and injure you. Replace the rim.
