no ebrake?
see sig for truck.was like that when i bought it.
I got NO ebrake. the foot pedal goes right to the floor zero engagement. Could the rears be worn so much that it needs an adjustment? How does one go about that? I do see the cable move a touch when someone presses the pedal so it is attatched to the pedal at least lol.

The pedal has a self adjust feature that sometimes fails. Look at the top of the pedal assy, watch to see if it is pulling the cable through the whole stroke of the pedal. Rear shoe adjustment could be out that far, but you'd have a low brake pedal to go along with poor e brake operation.

Or the cable snapped, I use to live north of Barrie, and we love our salt right!
The snap was internal, have someone engage it while u look at the cable on the frame.
Edit
K so it moves a little, I bet the Engagement jumped off In the drum

Could be you need new pads real bad. I had that problem on mine, pedal would go to the floor but it made io effect on the brakes. After I replaced the pads (along with some missing parts on my rear drum) it works good as new.

Mine went to the floor to. While I had mine at the shop for trans fluid exchange asked the tech if he could look at it. When he was done it worked awesome. He said there were some parts in there hooked up backwards (forget now what he said - spring or something from previous owner). Glad I had I'm do it, if I had I probably would have put it all back the way it came off.
