Welcome from Georgia!!

Have you pulled either drum yet? Along the lines of the moisture, I was thinking about linings that might have something on them, so they need to be replaced, or maybe a bad wheel cylinder? My '77 had a frozen cylinder on one side and to-the-metal on the other side (guess which was getting all the pressure and doing all the work??), and would lock up like mad on a hard stop.

Good luck and welcome again. Great board, great folks, LOTS of tech help available here!
