There should be a flexhose that connects the steel line from the truck frame to the steel lines that run to the wheels. This allows the rear suspension to move up and down. Another possible trouble area could be the contact surfaces on the backing plate. On older cars and trucks they sometimes get ridges worn in them. The brake shoe gets caught on the ridge and can't retract completely. These can usually be filed or ground smooth again. Good luck.
