300DT being a pain?what to do?

So after I finaly fixed most of the bugs out of my 85 300DT, another problem showed up.
After I drove about 50 miles today the orange 'brake light'? came on today, after 5 min down the road something was not right with my car as it was pulling on one side. I pulled over and the front passanger brakes were smoking and burning. I pulled the wheel off and wow the brake caliper was frozen. I get a pry bar and got the sucker loose and I was trying to make it home. Well after another 10 min that light comes back on and this time the front driver brake caliper starts dragging and burning. WTF? Did the same thing again and made it home. Jack up the car took wheels off and it looked like my brake pads are wayyy overdue. Well cool I'll buy new brake pads, BUT what about the locking calipers??Is it going to happen again??what would have caused my callipers to lock up?
The rear brake pads and brake rotors/callipers look fine.
I don't know much abt these cars, but I don't think the brake pads would cause the lock up of the callipers?? Dunno. Please leave lots of imput.
