ABS lock up can't stop

Ok a brief history of my brake problems .I heard a metal to metal sound at stops so I went and bought new shoes and pads I broke the drum on the back trying to get it off so I went ahead and got new 2 new ones, well I must of let the caliper hang by the hose because the line broke when I was driving it .I replaced the bad line (It was the front right) and bleed all 4 wheels CURRENT PROBLEM I live in an area where frequent stops are necessary and when I brake the front shakes horrible I didn't have the rotors turned? also after doing a lot of braking the pedal seems to travel further and the truck is very hard to stop I smell burnt brake dust best as I can describe it from the front and see smoke at night from the front when the head lights are on and rear tires lock up. I have abs but the light never comes on and the amount of brake fluid in the resovor hasn’t changed. Anyone know why this is happening?

The truck is a 94 F150 xl 2 wheel drive 302ci stock truck I don’t do any pulling and very rarely carry any loads in it. Right now I’d be afraid too!

if you suspect it might be the abs just disconnect the abs and drive it for a week or two and see if you still have the same problem if the problem goes away get your abs fixed
