check the gears in your transmission.  mine was doing that also when I took it into the shop, they opened the tranny, guess what....gear was shattered.  Mine only has approximately 8 tanks through it.

I know you tried the brakes but try this before you start taking stuff apart. Turn the radio and the truck on but don't start the engine. Open the carb full throttle with the radio then try to push the truck. If there's no resistance then your brakes need adjusting. My truck has a slight resistance when I pull it back but it doesn't affect it when it's running.
