Brakes locked up? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I just got my 1974 1/2 ton 4x4 running again and I put it in gear and I had to really give it gas to get it to move and now I've found that the front brakes are locked up pretty darn tight. Its been parked for about a year. Also I have no pressure at the pedal but that might be because the vacuum line isn't hooked up? I didn't think this should make the brakes lock up. I should also add that when I last drove it the right front brake would randomly lock up and almost pull you off the road. (hence why it was parked) haha. So does this mean that my calipers are bad, or master cylinder maybe?
