You don't give the make or model, but on most older trucks if it has disc brakes, they are self adjusting. If you have rear drum brakes, most of those, you put the truck in reverse, go back till you reach say 5 mph, then hit the brakes. This turns a self adjusting start screw. Back up and hit the braks agin and again till the brakes work better. If it still don't work you may just have to have need pads and/or shoes. HTH, Chuck
