Ever since I've had my truck (a bit over a year) it seems to have a problem that I think is with the transmission.

The idle speed is correct, and the truck does not have power brakes.

At a stop, I have to hold the brakes real firm to keep the truck from moving. I once almost rear ended someone in a fast food drive through because I was changing the volume on the stereo and I didn't hold the brake hard enough.

It has an automatic transmission TH350? (I'm not sure on the model.)

The truck is a 1971 C10 with stock 350 engine. Ideas?

I would bleed the brakes, re adjust the shoes if drums up front. Or put new shoes on the front, if the drums are still within specks. If you have front disk, install new pads if disks are within specks.

I had a car that used to creep forwards at signals or stop signs. Replaced the rotors and installed new pads. The problem went away.
