Thats how i got my car, back brakes stuck and hadn't moved after 10 or so years.

You start with the master cylinder on the drivers side down on the frame and get some brake fluid in there, because it'll be dry. We took ours out, broke it down, had it clean in about 10 minutes and back together, bled the brakes (no air in line amazing for a dry cylinder) and brakes were tops! Then just try some testing starting, shifting, etc and go from there!
