I see new pads all the way around in the near future, but aside from needing new pads what could be causing the brake light and mushy brakes?
I have some of questions:

What do you mean by "stand on the brakes?" Did the pedal all of a sudden become hard to depress or did the truck not stop when you depressed the pedal?

Did you install power brakes or are they manual?

First thing comes to mind is master cylinder defective.
