Drove my k5 about 10 miles backroads to my house from the wife's parents. On my way back about halfway front left brake caliper either froze or brake line collapsed. So now that needs to be fixed but it ran decent with a messed up trans(but seems like its shifting better than when I first put it in) and not being drove in about 3 months

Not much, just replace the U/L ball joints, tie rod ends, drag link, steering arm, re-paced bearings and fixed this problem...
