I'm Awesome
So I don't know anything about brakes, but basically, I have to completely stomp on the brakes for anything to happen. Takes forever to stop. Cant even lock up on ice. What do I need to replace?

Hmm, I would start at the pedal and work all the way to the rear axle. .
Seriously though, without knowing what your issues are, it's hard to say what you need. If you bring it to a shop like Canadian Tire, or like they can do an inspection / brake estimate at a fairly reasonable cost or even free.
Check to see if there is any fluid in the master cylinder for starters, if there is fluid there, you may have seizing / seized wheel cylinders and calipers.
Chances are if you haven't changed any brake lines ( being in Manitoba ) you will most likely need to change them if you have to change wheel cylinders. Hoses don't last forever either, they crack and dry rot. The line from the front of the truck to the back runs in between the fuel tank and the frame, it's a pain to get to and a good idea to change if you have the system open, so you can drive for a few years without having to change it in the future.
I would use coated brake line, they will last much longer in the salt, compared to un-coated steel line. If you don't have a flaring tool kit for brake line, you may be able to rent one or buy one for $ 40 or so.
If the rotors haven't been changed and suffer from rust, they are easy to change on a 1/2 ton, 3/4 ton are a bit more difficult.
Lastly, unless you have an assortment of tools, a jack, jack stands, somewhere warm to work and are willing to ask questions and research, take it to someone else that can do it for you.
