Default Front Right Tire Lock Up

I just bought my 2001 1500 Quad Cab 4x4 and have drove it on the freeway and city with no issues. I even towed my Honda back when I picked up my Truck. It has 186,000 miles on it. I had no problem with brakes or motor. I go to the store yesterday and hit the brakes and the front right tire locks up. Not having an issue before I think drive it a short distance at a slow speed and try again. Repeatedly lock frot right tire and seems like the other brakes are not working? What gives?

Pull the wheel off and check for anything abnormal.
