Default Brake Locking Up

Front passenger brake only intermittent lock up. It will lock for a second and release. Does it when driving at random without any brake input. I’ve never had this problem. Took it apart and everything externally seems fine. Any recommendations?

On a 1987 D150 2wd.

It may be your wheel bearing. If it's failing, it can catch and release. Jack the truck up and see if there's any wobble.

I would go so far as to suggest pulling it apart, and putting an eyeball on the bearings.
