Brake issues
77 C-10 2wd. Took it out for a drive tonight and noticed something appeared to be dragging on it. Time I got home I had smoke pouring out from the passenger wheel. Jacked it up and the wheel was locked up. Took the tire off and noticed the brake was locked up. Went to the driver side and sure enough, it was locked up as well. I can't imagine both calipers getting stuck at the same time without something else causing it.
Some background on the truck: When I bought the truck there were manual brakes on it. I added a booster and the appropriate master cylinder and bled the system. I recently had the entire front suspension out of it and rebuilt it. Once I got it back together is when the problems started. My brother in law told me that the clamp that holds the brake hoses can tighten up on the hoses over time and restrict the flow or the return of brake fluid. Thoughts? Ideas? Suggestions? Anything will be greatly appreciated.
