dropping brake pedal

sometimes my break pedal drops just enough to keep the brake lights on and only when the truck is off. I don't have power brakes and the fluid level doesn't change therfore no leak? Any ideas?

You might need a return spring under the dash. Cannot remember if there should be one there or not.

If your F-100 is like mine, look up under the dash - you should see a brake switch there - adjust it so it is not activated when the pedal drops.

I'd drag a flashlight up under the dash with me too....you might see something worn out in the brake linkage that needs to be replaced...
