This model has conventional drum brakes- a broken spring would have the symptoms you describe. Also- if you do purchase the truck- be warned that the brake hydraulic system is filled with hydraulic oil- not DOT3 brake fluid. This makes a difference in the rubber composition of the wheel cylinders.

Fact of the week
Brothers Adolf ("Adi") and Rudolf ("Rudi") Dassler split their shoe company after WWII due to a bitter feud, and established the rival companies of Adidas and Puma. Their personal animosity and business rivalry divided their German hometown Herzogenaurach. The town became known as "the town of bent necks" due to the intense loyalty to each brand.
