while driving home yesterday, I step on the brake pedal to find out only one of my front brakes is working, i've bled the brakes, still only one brake working, any ideas? The rear drum breaks do not work either.

If they bled out ok the next thing is get all four wheels off and look around. Check for motion at the wheel cylinders one at a time and don't push brake pedal too far -- just enough to see if they move.
It probably didn't have much for back brakes for a while and you would barely notice that as they don't do much of the work.
A front brake frozen up will really make the car pull the backs don't really do that.
This has only happened to cars that went thru deep water and warm brakes parts suck in the water when chilled by the water but at it's age it could need all that stuff anyway just surprising all at once. If that happened more surprises will show up, T
