2006 Silverado Parking brake Sticking

Topic starter

I have a 2006 Chevy Silverado 1500 w/ rear drums. Yesterday when I backed out of my drive I put the truck in reverse disengaged the parking brake and took my foot off the brake. Even with my driveway sloping down slightly towards the street my truck didnt move. I gave the truck some gas and I felt the parking brake unstick and everything seemed normal. I dont know much about the Parking brake mechanism but what could cause this? Thank you.

The lever and cable operated system needs to be checked for binding, probably just dirty and corroded.  Needs cleaning and lubrication.

Probably drums need some cleaning.
