Now brakes are locking up

After all the problems I had with the carb and after getting that problem solved.the brakes have started locking up,so bled the brakes and on one of the calipers no fluid would come out so i changed that one.It started work find for a short drive then it started again on the same side or one side is harder to turn than the other.So my question is what next.Should I replace just the booster or master cylinder as well or could the be something else that's causing the problem. Thanks

Re: Now brakes are locking up

if it's only 1 brake then replace the caliper or wheel cyl
if it's both frt or rr then check prop valve and master

Re: Now brakes are locking up

Ok as of yet,I haven't touched the truck after seeing both front wheels locked up.This morning I went out and fired it up and the brakes were good.So does this narrow it down between the 2 prop valve and the master cyl. Thanks

Re: Now brakes are locking up

If both are locking up, then yes its going to be in the bias and therefore in your proportioning valve. If your master cylinder was acting up it would have some affect on the rear's also since their all fed from the same rod in the mastercylinder.
