dude those rotors are probably shot my o6 had thepads and rotors replaced at 50 k. If your still running stock thats your problem. otherwise I believe ther is a line that holds the hdrauliuc fluid too the rears holding the truck. It's not old school thats for sure. But I really think it's time for service.

There is a adjustable nut on the cable on the drivers side frame you can adjust to tighten it

I believe the parking brake is a drum-type. The cable runs under the driver's side. Not too hard to adjust (don't get it too tight).
