Brakes sticking

ok guys,

So my brakes started sticking intermittently. Pedal would get real firm as well. So, I replaced my calipers, hoses (rear one as well) and flushed the who knows how old fluid out. It's till doing it. This time however, I jacked the truck up and its the fronts that are sticking - both sides. All I can think of now -Master Cylinder??

It has standard brakes as well - no power.

Disc brakes ? If so maybe the proportioning valve ..
