Unless the brake pedal feels spongy (in other words, not resistant when stepping on it) after the brakes engage, it's possible they don't need bleeding. Read this. How to adjust drum brakes

It does sound like something is wrong with the left front brake, so you should probably inspect that by removing the drum.

I agree with Paul! Remove the left front drum and see if you have a brake fluid leak that got the shoes all sticky.

Rock Auto, NAPA and Jim Carter Truck Parts are where I'd start my search for brake parts.

Thank you fellas. I will start with the wheel that is locking up.
