Braking question

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 05-Feb-02 AT 07:51 AM (EST)]Does anybody know if it is possible for brakes to be engaging too fast when approaching fully engaged? Whenever it is rainy or snowy I always can skid to a stop way to easily. I haven't had the time to do any experimenting in a parking lot to see if I'm just having a heavy foot. :P

The truck is an 86 so it has no ABS. What would I be checking on the pads? Too warn? Improperly attached?

check for wear and you may need to bleed your braking system. Sounds like you're not getting enough brake till you really get on them. So I would check the things I've talked about hear.
