When I push the brake pedal and let go, I get a squeak that sounds like it is coming from the rear drums. It seems like the brake cable or something because this sound happens when the truck is not moving. It probably makes the noise when I am moving, I just can't hear it from all the other road noise. Did anyone else experience this before? The truck has about 27,000 now.

Brake dust inside your rear drums. Take them off and blow out with compressed air. Use some brake cleaner too if you feel like it.
My driver side rear drum was doing the same thing. Take off the drum cover and spray all the joints/ linkages you can see with lithium grease, just dont overdo it and make sure not to get any on the pads' contact surface. I would def hit it with compressed air too, but it was def something linked to the parking brake in there that was causing the squeak.
Yep... mine did it too. Before you remove the wheel and beat the snot out of the drum... notice the threaded holes in the drums. Find the right metric bolts and thread them in there, the drums will walk right off. Otherwise you will have a heck of a time getting them off....
My rear brakes were squealing during low speed stops. After I cleaned out the drums and sanded the glaze off, the squealing would come back in a week. Also, my rear brakes shoes would stick if moisture got in the drums and I would have to gas it to break the the shoes free from the drums.
I changed my brake shoes to Wagner Thermo Quiets and no more squealing and no more sticky brake shoes. I got them onsale for $15 after rebate last month. The rebate ends this month.:thumbsup:

It's probably your brakes, which in that case the procedures outlined above will stop/reduce the squeak.
Could also be your leaf springs squeaking as the rear end settles again after stopping. They squeak because of dirt between the leaves, so you need to wash the dirt out (pressure washer) and then reapply lithium grease between the leaves to stop the squeaking.

Remove the drums & flush the brake dust out with brake cleaner; also spray the entire inside of the drums. Once flushed and reassembled, squeak is gone. This lasts for about a week or two, then the squeaking starts again. You must grease the backing plate where the metal frame of the shoes contacts it.
I was able to do this without removing the shoes by putting some white teflon grease on a thin plastic card and slightly prying the shoes away from the backing plate with a screwdriver. There are 4 contact points, top and bottom of each shoe. If Toyota had lubed this properly at the factory, there would be no issue. The noise is created by the brake dust between the rubbing points. A different brake compound may make no noise.
Make sure you don't get any grease on the shoe friction material.
My '92 pickup never squeaked like that, it was really annoying.
