Rear brake thoughts

On a 59 f100 4x4, have front disk and rear drum with vacuum booster and 2 chamber master. Have about 750 miles on system since installed. Last week the brake pedal started catching and not returning completely when braking. If I tap the pedal with my foot, the pedal pops back to upper position. Don’t think spring broke on firewall for pedal return, will check on that tonight. plenty of fluid in master, and pedal feels fine, so booster working fine. Wondering if I broke a brake return spring on one of the rear wheels

Off hand, it sounds like the master is suspect or as you mentioned the firewall spring.

Could there be wear where the pedal swivels on the bracket and is catching.
