rear drum brakes issue

lots of good comments and things to look at.

I cannot answer some of the comments because I got the components in a stalled project....new axles with green bearings, complete rear drum brake package assembled with powder coated backing plates and new drums, 742 center section ready to bolt in all ready to be added to a stock OEM A-body 8-3/4.

I am suspecting the assembled drum brake package I used has incorrect shoes. Just miffed I cannot see anything rubbing.

As soon as I get a chance, I am gonna remove the shoes and see what happens.

Thanks for all that chimed in, much appreciated.
