Bad Brake drums? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a bad vibration between 40-60 MPH and tonight I tried to see if where it was coming from. I jacked up the truck and took the rear wheels off and run it up to 50 MPH and still had a bad vibration. I then took the drums off and ran it again and there was much less vibration. The drums are about 1 year old with 1k miles on them and I bought the them at autozone.

Has anyone else got drums that were bad? If I took them to a machine shop do you think there is anything they could do as far as balancing them?
