Caliper not releasing

I have a 1984 Chevy C20 pickup. I replaced the front pads & calipers. The driver's side caliper does not release. It didn't have this problem before I "fixed" it. What do I need to do or redo to fix it right?

caliper piston may have gotten dirt shoved in it.....the hoses can cause that,but not by your doing

Replace or rebuild both front calipers. Must be the one causing your problem.

I had this problem once with a new caliper. It actually turned out to be a bad or collapsed brake line.
