before you can rule anything out , you need to get the rear brakes and the pushrod adjusted correctly, I learned the hard way and wasted alot of effort

Don't settle for auto adjusters..do it manually to make sure.

The drums should Just barely scuff the shoes.

to make the pushrod adjustment. cut a piece of metal or hard cardboard to make a slot out of it equal to the measurement required then set the length according to that.
