Locks up in the front or back?
I'm betting back and first glance it doesn't sound like the same problem the OP was having. Under adjusted rear brakes that are on their last 10% of shoe can do that due to rust and the amount it has to travel before engaging the rear drum. Might be a questionable caliper also hard to tell. Perhaps a detailed scenario in a separate thread, post there every time it does it and the surrounding circumstances and I bet one of us can figure it out.
Front or back? Good question. I'll need to pay more attention when it does it again. It's more like a hard grab than a full lock. If its damp out as well the tires will make a little chirp. If I drive it everyday it never happens. Only does it after its sat a few days. Pretty sure I have motorcraft pads or whatever the dealer sells because whatever my mechanic used previously squeeked and wore to quick. It 's not a huge concern at the moment because it fixes itself after 2 or 3 presses of the pedal also the truck is also going to 410customs shop this summer to get upgrades so this might not even be an issue afterwards. I'm thinking ordinary biker might be onto something.
