SURFERDAVE is on a distinguished road
Default Front brakes locked up

I got my 88t back on the road after a couple of years on blocks. Replaced rusted brake lines, pulled apart and cleaned the calipers, replaced the pads and fluid. Drove the car for a weeks but the brakes didnt feel right. Bled them again, and again then went into a lot and slammed them on. The fronts locked up and stayed locked even though I took my foot off the pedal. I had to rock my car back and forth to release them to get home. Now they stay engaged when I press them. Any ideas? I was going to buy a caliper rebuild kit for my OEM calipers. I am not going to buy a big dollar brake set up, but was wondering if the calipers are the problem or if it is something else and do the OEM calipers rank with the middle of the road calipers from say an Auto Zone. It will be easier to swap out the calipers but I will be giving up my oems as a core. not sure how good the OEMS are.Thanks again
