Drivers side front brake locks

My 1993 4.9 SWB F150 front drivers side rotor locks up unless I ease into it, I have changed the rotors,calipers,brake lines,brake pads. I have bled the brakes and proportion valve and it still locks up, also replaced the rear drums, wheel cylinders and brakes in case the computer was reacting to something I did not see. If anyone can shed light or may have an idea on this please let me know.

I'm still learning with these trucks but it sounds like an abs problem to me

My .02 cents to your front brake issue...is it possible that your passenger side caliper is leaking pressure, giving you the impression that your driver side is locking up?

Otherwise, check to see if you have an ABS sensors on each wheel. And check each sensor that you find. See if they are your culprit.
