So my 94 sierra isnt in the best shape at the moment
she is my daily and weekender so she goes through alot
but anyway last week i noticed the brakes were playing up abit, veering and such
so i had MIDAS sus it out and do a general check
they came back with

needs 2 rear wheels bearings
left hand tie rod end
rear diff seal (pinion)
new exhaust (wearing thin)
needs rear cylinderss and brake shoes "brake drum over size" :s?
brake flush
rear cross joint
Left hand front brake sticking

gotten to the point where i cannot drive her.. but i'm not willing to pay the $3K they want to fix it..
so im pulling her apart and upgrading brakes while fixing everything else..
if anyone has any parts or knowledge that can help me please post..

shes going to get a few mods done in the next month while in the garage on stands

Get a second opinion - those shops are notorious for making up problems that you'll then pay them to fix. Wheel bearings are a classic.
Is the pinion leaking diff oil?
Is there play in the tie rod?

If it's undriveable then fair enough, but I wouldn't be taking their word for everything.

Tie rod ends are fairly cheap and easy to swap out.
Calipers are fairly easy to remove and grease up, should fix the sticky one.

BenT does a kit for a rear disc upgrade if you're keen to improve things.
