When you use the park pawl to hold the truck on an incline, the additional pressure means that the pawl will wear every time you take the truck out of park.  The steeper the hill, the higher the pressure, and the more wear.  So, put the parking brake on first, then put the gear lever into park, then release the foot brake.

I think your pawl is worn after all these years.  But your parking brake cable is almost brand new!
