Why won't the calipers release after applying brakes on 1993 silverado?

Rusty and dirty calibers, rusty mounting points, rusty caliber slide pins, or contaminated brake fluid. Brake fluid absorbs moisture and I would bet yours is severely contaminated. Completely flush your entire brake system and replace with the proper fluid from and unopened can. Bleed the brake system and see what you have at that time. Replace the guide pins if they are rusty or pitted. Lubricate them with silicone brake lube. Clean off all mounting points with a wire brush, do not use a grinder. You may need to replace the calibers to completely solve the problem. Brake fluid should be changed every 36,000 miles at a minimum.
