    Well I'm to the point that I will be able to drive my 64 A pickup Very Happy . I still have a lot to do (but if it was EZ , everyone would be doing it)
    When I apply the brakes, the front end pulls me toward the right ( I correct by steering somewhat to the left)
    OK veterans of drum brakes. Should I adjust up the left front brake some ? give me some pointers. Thanks

    truth is soon they will pull to the left and the right. and all you have to remember is what way it went last time I applied the brakes. LOL
    if there is no grease or oil on the shoes and the short shoe is on the forward side and they are adjusted with similar drag then not much to say. you could swap drums from side to side but a fairly common thing with dodge drum brakes on 4 corners...

    I would add check the tie rods and toe in and switch the front tires and see if anything changes....
