Left Rear Brake locks sometimes

This is starting to drive me nuts. Ever since replace the brake oads and shoes on my 200 F-150. I have been having problems. It stared as a draging sound and then I would have occational grabbing or locking up of the left rear wheel. I have taken it to 2 shops. I had the Ford dealer replace the wheel cylinders, I have change the brake booster, the master cylinder and the rear shoes 3 times for the shoes. I seems to be fine for a while the the locking wheel will return. It does not seem to do this during slow down, only when coming to a complete stop, and then not all the time ...
I need help

Make sure your drums are in spec. They may need to be turned or replaced. Buy a spring and hardware kit and install it. Problem fixed. Don't ask how I know.

Pull the rear disc and check the emergency brake shoes.

I apologize.

I thought all models that year had disc brakes. Apparently the 4.2L and 4.6L XL do not.
