this is what happens.
I start the truck, push down on the brake peddle, take the parking brake off, while my foot is in on the brakes i put it into drive or reverse and then start driving. once i need to make the 1st stop, my brake peddle is stiff as all hell and i must force the brake peddle down till i have normal pressure.
any help/tips will help.
Thanks in advance

you need to adjust the rear drums from the sounds of it otherwise i'd start looking at the brake booster, i don't fully understand the condition at which this happening, but it really does sounds like a simple rear drum brakes adjustment.
to me it sounds as if when you put the hand brake on it applies and won;t release fully until you operate the rear brakes past the point of where the hand brakes lock the drums and release that tension going on there, this most likely sounds like drivel but i know what i'm saying, lol
over adjusted rear brake drums, hehe
give that a shot it's pretty simple to check and do.
