Your going to have to pull the drums and clean them. Rust is what caused it to lock up. Clean everything and make sure the slack adjuster is working.

With the bolts removed, pull the caliper off of the Ford's brake rotor.4 Pull the old brake pads out of the caliper and discard them. Squeeze the brake piston back into the backside brake caliper with pliers, and then insert the new pads into the brake caliper.5 Pull the rotor cap cover off the middle of the rotor with a screwdriver and use a socket to remove the nut located behind the cover.6 Pull the rotor off of the wheel spindle.7 Remove the old wheel bearings from the brake rotor and insert them into the new rotor. If the old wheel bearings are worn, replace them with new bearings.8 Slide the new rotor onto the wheel spindle and secure it using a bolt and socket. After you tighten the bolt, press the cover back onto the rotor.9 Place the caliper on the rotor and secure it with a socket and hex-head bolts. 10 Duplicate the process on the passenger side of the F-250. 11 Close the master cylinder after putting the wheels back on the Ford and lowering it to the ground.

1995 Ford Ranger Truck has been sitting for a couple months while my sons went away to military and the emergency brake won't disengage...

sounds like it froze up due to rust

if you go to an auto parts store you can by a parking brake cable tool that will allow you to separate the cables

however, you probably will still have the rear brakes locked and without just driving the vehicle, you'll have to disassemble the rear brakes to free everything

Can't shift into reverse.

There is a brake lamp switch located on the brake pedal itself, this also works as the shift lock release.
