Did he properl adjust the new brakes? (I am assuming the truck has rear drum brakes not disc).

Let me know how he adjusted them if he did it.

If both the e-brake and regular brakes stopped working, they must be out of adjustment. Did he adjust them until there was a drag when spinning, pump the brakes to center them, and then readjust? The reason I'm still questioning it is because both regular and e-brake don't work.
