Check your emergency brakes. They are drum types housed inside the rear rotors.

"99 f-150 with less than 20k miles"

there's your problem..brakes are probably having some siezing issues due to the fact that the truck has probably spent a lot of it's time just sitting. but i'm sorry i don't know what to tell you...good look tho : ).

later

I had the same problem. The emergency brake shoes were all worn out and broken. Made lots of noise. Had to change out the backs including rotors.

Try backing up and stomping on the e brake. It will adjust the e brake shoes. I normally do it 3 or 4 times to make sure.
