Earlier today I posted that on the first drive of my 66 122 after sitting most of the winter/spring in the garage I noticed the brake pedal was very firm. After it had been parked for a few hours I tried to drive it but it wouldn't budge. I jacked up the right front side, tried to spin the wheel but it wouldn't budge. Jacked up the left front side and that wheel won't budge either. Removed the left front wheel: the brake disk and caliper look kind of rusty but I don't have much experience with brakes so I'm not exactly sure how it's all supposed to look.

Since I'm pretty new to DIY car repair I'd appreciate any thoughts as to what you guys think the problem is and how best to proceed. Frozen calipers? Swelling of the rubber brake line?
