Yea if any will be at equalizer bar along frame, also make sure your rear shoes are good and are properly adjusted.

Slack adjusters are hit and miss at best..... mostly miss, adjusters froze up or just not getting it, if the latter a few minutes with a brake spoon might be all it needs.

Otherwise might need to remove the drum free them up.....well then again maybe not "Texas".... you'll probably just need a spoon.
