well the brakes are working great.  new calipers, pads and the worst problem was indeed the flex hoses.  Where the flex hose is attached to the control arm is a clamp about 3 inches long and super hard to work with.  it had corroded  between the clamp and hose and as a result, had reduced the diameter of the hose to the point that i had no pressure at all and thats what had the calipers frozen and rusted.  my brakes react and feel like a new truck would now. thanks for all the good advice.

     Did you ever figure out what the problem was ?  Or did you replace multiple parts and it fixed it.
#1: The easiest and most obvious solution to any problem is 99% of the time correct.
#2: There is no such thing as impossible, it just takes longer.
