first i would tell you to look at the e brake cables. there is one for both sides they do come into one system by the back driver side tire but at times it can stick.if you cant find the prob there you will have to pull the brakes apart on the sticky side. hope this helps

Yeah, you will probably need to pull the drum off to inspect the brakes closer. I've never had this issue before, but from the research I've seen that it tends to happen from time to time...

Ouch...

I bet there's something wrong with the lever... My parking brake handle in the 97 broke off about 4 years ago... LOL

I use to have a pair of vice grips in the truck to disengage it... haha

sounds like a painful trip!  Just carry around some good blocks in the back of the truck to use as a parking brake on the rear tires! lol... it works!

In my old beaters it's the brake cable that causes this.Take your drum off and have a friend operate the e-brake, there is a lever that the cable is connected to, it should move with the cable. If there is no movement it's prob the rear cable but check if it's the front by pulling on the front cable (under the cab drivers side where the two cables turn into one) really hard by hand. If both rear cables move it's the front. Buy a book and the right tools (the best you can afford), it'll pay in the long-term.
