As for your problem are you positive its your brakes and not something else? Possibly pinion angle is wrong?

Howling in the back can be your rearend is going downhill. Does it do it when you left off the gas an just coasting an you hear the howling?
My 89 c1500 does this where when I'm coasting down hill you'll hear it howling whomp whomp kinda sound but I kno the rearend is on its way out so getting it rebuilt soon.

No it only does it when I'm hitting the brake going really slow like around 5-10 mph never hear it when I'm on the gas only when stopping
I'm not positive it's the brakes because it doesn't happen all the time but most of the time it does when I hit the brakes 5-10 mph how do I fix the pinion angle on the truck? and why does it make the howling noise when applying the brakes?

My '98 did the same thing after it was lowered. Even with new brakes. Worse with the 15's than the 20's.
Can't really help with an exact fix 'cause we threw a bunch of changes at it all at once. This included ditching the Belltech mount system in favour of a custom design, correcting the pinion angle, & having the new, never mounted drums, perfectly machined.
Never howled after that.
I'd say get the drums machined. Cheapest & easiest place to start. I've seen brand new ones right outa the box so badly warped they couldn't be trued by machining.
Older vehicle drums used to have a spring around them to prevent that resonance. May be possible to have a groove machined next to the lip of the drum for a spring.

sounds like an issue i had ....but the issue i had was caused by doing burnouts way to much and smoking the brakes.. not saying you did or the shop heck i seen a few people get it from being realy easy on the brakes and glazing them over. i fixed mine by getting the drums turned and using and emery cloth or somthing rilly course and sand a little on the pad to rough it up.
Ok thanks I'll start with checking that
Thanks I'll check my rear brake lines first then move forward to the actual drums to see if it fixes that problem
