Default brake question. puzzled!

OK here we go.

have a 1993 club cab 5.9 5spd 4x4, recently acquired!

I have a brake issue with the truck right now.. When i hit the brakes they pulse extremely hard, like to the point the truck almost jumps, and really pushes the pedal back hard when it's doing so. So far I have redone the rear brakes and lines so the problem is not there. so i'm looking at the front end (dana 60) or maybe master cyl? anyone been through this and have any input? front is getting torn apart tomorrow.

Yes sir!

Just haven't been there much lately.

And yeah if it's warped rotors WOW is all i can say haha, but they are on this list of things to replace. I was kinda leaning away from the because it's so bad I ouldn't imagine anyone driving much with it like that.
