Welcome to the site. If you're seeing the ABS light and the Parking brake indicator, chances are good your EBCM is bad and the fuse has been pulled. If that is the case, you're just driving around w/o ABS. If you only have the ABS light on, there's an issue with the system that could be anything from a non-functioning wheel speed sensor to a problem with the brain of the ABS system.

As for the SES light, hopefully it's just a bad O2 sensor. Either way, I'd find a qualified tech to diagnose the concerns for you so you don't start throwing unnecessary parts and money at an otherwise good vehicle.

If your gas cap was truly the problem then you'll probably just need to put 20-30 miles on the truck to reset the monitors and assuming there are no other issues to trip the SES light, you should be able to smog it without a problem. The ABS light alone will not cause you to fail a smog inspection.
