Hey it's about time! Ha. Thanks for following up - I do the same thing, I wouldn't last long in a busy auto shop, I try to pretty everything up too much when I do it. It's a sickness. But a perfectly understandable one on your own truck. Probably should've mentioned before, but a few things are helpful when working on brake systems you aren't intimately familiar with. Digital camera is your best friend. Document everything before disassembly (I know, a little late for this great advice). And then, only disassemble one side at a time (except for the drums) - keep one assembled as the reference, keeping in mind that one side is not exactly the same as the other, it's a mirror image. Also keep in mind that you only need to replace what you take off - brake part kits can be somewhat generic and have more parts than you need. Clean what you can't replace. A parts washer, even a portable one is a huge help - but can also use brake cleaner spray. Have a good catch system to catch the drippings. Also, reference the factory manuals for the ground truth if you do not have a good ref to go on (or, actually, always reference them anyway, even if you do have an original truck). SSTim has a good link to them in this thread.

And, most importantly, do the rear wheels spin now?? You mentioned you were going to check now that the drums were off. I'm guessing they do - and that you just had one or two really, really stuck drums - considering that the lines were dry. Parking brake stuck? Interested to hear the cause of the original problem.

Would love to see a pic of this old truck and hear a little about it. Grandpa's old C30 - that sounds great, glad you're gonna get her moving again.
