sounds like parking brake is set. try disengaging, or downright kicking that fucker a few times to see if the light goes off. also- GM sensors suck. your truck's old as hell, so it might just be an old sensor malfunctioning.
if your attempts to disengage the parking brake do not shut that light off, head over to O'Reilly auto parts and use their diagnostic computer(they will let you use it for free) to figure out what's going on.

Hi there,

Just for reference, and so they don't laugh when you take it in, that is the ((!P))Brake light. :-)

This could be any number of things, but the last one I saw was a wheel sensor (for the anti-lock brakes) malfunctioning.

If you need to replace that wheel hub assembly, have a look at eBay... I found one for my car which was American made and cost one THIRD what my parts store wanted.

The company I bought from was Dearborn Rack and Axle, if I recall correctly.

Good luck!
