Mike,

 

I'm getting into this thread a little late but I agree with the rest of
the group that most likely your hoses are the source of your brake
lockup.  I have experienced this myself in the past on another vehicle
(78 Chevy P/U).  The wheel cylinders may not be a bad idea, but I would
at least pull one and take it apart to see what it looks like.  You may
be able to hone the wheel cylinders and install rebuild kits.  Four
rebuild kits will cost less than one wheel cylinder.

The consensus seems to be that my hoses are... hosed.  I'm going to
replace them and I'm probably going to replace the cylinders while I'm
at it.  Maybe unnecessary but what the heck.  I don't plan on getting
braided hose - just regular.  I don't see the need for them at this
point.  You all may try to convince me otherwise - I'm not that set in
my ways.  

 

Thanks to all for your responses.
