Yep, this can happen when the brake pads are metal to metal and need replacement, but to be sure can you please shoot a quick video with your phone so I can hear the noise? That way I can tell for sure what's going on. You can upload it here with your response. This video should help you fix it:

It has new pads. I described it wrong when turning L holding brake pedal something grabs and I'm unable to come to a quick stop.

It could be a broken suspension part; I would raise the truck up and use a flashlight to inspect the frame and suspension components.
