"My front hoses aren't new,
fairly old matter of fact. Can they be contributing to the locking up? "


The rubber brake lines can deteriorate internally over time and act as a 
checkvalve.  When you push the pedal they'll blow open and lock the brake but 
won't release with the pedal.  I had this happen on an Opel GT once.  The lines 
looked old but sound on the outside....chased my tail for awhile.
