Drum Brake issues
1970 F100, 390 3sp. 2w/d. 4 wheel drums
Brakes have been completely rebuilt. Everything new. Turned drums before installing. The issue is that the brakes work perfectly when the brakes are still cold/cool. But when they warm up and get hot they start pulsating and pulling to the right. I just don't understand this change or what to do first. Obviously the heat expands the materials, but to this extreme?? There's a long backstory to the brakes as it is, I've played hell with these things for awhile now and I'm out of ideas. Thanks

The auto adjusters only work (if they work at all!), when you back up and step on the brake pedal.
