A sticking caliper will act the same way as a collapsing hose. Also, I've never had it happen, but heard of this. A piece of the rubber brake hose can flake off and act like a valve inside the hose. It will let the fluid go through to the caliper, but when the pedal is released, the rubber flake will plug the hole and slow down the fluid flow.
Depending on how old the hoses are, I would think this is the problem. I know how it is to be tight on money, but is it worth maybe wrecking the truck, when your brakes fail?
Brakes are something you never take lightly, when not working right. Never, ever, drive a vehicle with bad brakes.
