on the emergency brake handle bracket you will see an adjustment nut on the end of the cable that comes from under the car attaching the cable to brake arm. you need to back the nut off till you have enough to take the rear wheels off to figure out what is causing the problem. common cause would be a cable is frozen with rust build up. release all cables from one and other to figure out which one is faulty.

How do you release the parking brake when the release cable has broken on a 2004 silverado truck with less than 24K?

I don't know about Silverado trucks but all of the emergency (parking) brakes I'm familiar with use the brake cable to "pull" and hold the brake against the drum (or disk), so if the cable breaks you simply cannot apply the emergency brake. That is, it is automatically released if the the cable breaks.
