If the truck has air brakes it was simple matter to include a parking brake as part of the air brake system.

GM used a drive shaft mounted parking brakes with hydraulic brake systems until the quit making medium duty trucks.

Ford built a lot of their medium duty trucks with Lucas Girling brakes on the rear. That system used a spring applied, hydraulically released parking brake on the rear drums. The parking brake system is a lot like wedge style air brakes but used hydraulics rather than air to release them.
