Terry,OH, hmmm. It's a half ton truck.

I would think that Kube's shot of the 40 brakes is right. As for mine, I agree that they should be applied given how far forward the lever is. Moving it by hand as far as it goes, it moves a tiny, tiny bit.

Searching again I came across this thread where someone had the same issue I am having and what they did to fix it. I was thinking this was a possible solution to my situation. https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?t=277228
