Breaks
Hey i have a problem with the breaks on my 91 f150.
When i apply the breaks softly anywhere above 30mph the truck starts to jerk not bad but kind of like going over small bumbs and if i hit the breaks hard there is no jerking at all just smooth breaking,so is this normal or a sign of bad breaks.

Maybe grease or oil on the pads or rotor. Or could be a slightly warped rotor.
If the pads are greasy, they probably need to be replaced. You might try cleaning them with solvent or sand paper but I don't think this is recommended if there is more than just a little grease on them.
The rotors will cost about $12 each to turn.
Good Luck,
