You may not have reassembled the parking brake parts correctly, otherwise as said, it could just be out of adjustment.

Whenever I got my truck, the parking brake didn't work. Turns out whoever did the brakes before me didn't put the parking brake return spring back on.
Had to buy a new set of springs.

Might take a look at all your springs and everything inside the drum. If the shoes weren't tight enough ^^

you can adjust the cable under the truck aswell. I removed the parking brake arm on my truck because the cables were seized applied.

When one adjusted the parking brake push down on the pedal 4 clicks then adjust it that way it won't go down real low before it reacts.
