several questions....
1) is your parking brake simply applied via cable....OR do you have a hydraulic pump that compresses a big arsed spring? If you have the pump setup (my '99 34H did), can you hear the pump when you release the brakes (Yellow button on the dash that you have to push in)
NOTE! the hyd pump uses hydraulic oil...NOT ATF! (don't ask how I know this)
Also crawl under and make sure that the brake shoes haven't froze to the parking brake drum..been there....dun that
2) Check to see if you have a brake master cylinder seized up and won't release the pressure to the brakes wheel cylinders...With GM chassis with hydraulic brakes this is a common occurrence when left sitting for a long time (again don't ask how I know this)
3) If it is in the tranny you may have an air bubble in the lines which won't permit the shift selector to receive the oil pressure needed to go into reverse....(AAMCO time)
