Brake hoses were replaced, no? Any work done on the master or booster, then this happened? Do you have Hydro-Boost.

Ok, when the brakes lock up, disconnect the vacuum hose to the booster see if they free up.

Are you sure the hoses were replaced you keep saying lines? Also make sure there is at least 1/8-1/4 free travel in the brake pedal.

Possible the proportioning valve is bad and holding pressure, not much else left.
