On the brake problem, maybe the piston was jammed into the housing and isn't operating? While standing still you could firmly push the brake pedal to see if you can make the piston come loose. Depends on how many miles on the truck but it might just be better to replace the caliper rather than try to repair yours.

Time for a new caliper! They're not expensive, pretty easy to do at home and be done with it. That rig can't be much fun to drive with only 1 front brake operating. As for the door locks. Which switch is working? Or is it just one lock working? I have found with mine that the **** clearance in the door panel is so slight that a little bit of lube on the **** itself will free them up.

the brake problem is probably frozen slide pins, a common problem.
go to http://guzzle.rbmicro.com/index.html to see how to fix them., easier to put a new caliper in though
