1. Siezed brake piston
2. Too big a bore on the rear caliper, you can't move enough fluid to collapse the rear without the fronts collapsing fully. This could be easily confirmed by c-clamping the piston into the caliper and taking some calipers and measuring the inside bore or the outside of the piston of each and confirming fronts and rears are the same.
If either one is the case like mentioned by others you could always swap out the calipers with the same front calipers using them on the rear (no ebrake but your state inspection might require it, my state doesn't might have to use a pinion mount type e-brake) or replace the front calipers with bigger bore calipers that match the diameter of piston of your rear calipers, the gm metrics are available in many different bore sizes to "tune" a system from Speedway.
If the piston is siezed get new calipers.
We are staying tuned here, we are all curious!
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
