brake trouble on the '62. little help, please?

Yesterday while driving through town, some idiot turned in front of me.
I had to slam on he brakes, hard enough the lock and skid.
When I went to take off, I noticed the truck pulling hard left.
After about a mile, the brake started smoking. I had to call a rollback.
I didn't get home until dark and never got a chance to check it out.
I'm not the worlds best mechanic, but I can't afford a huge bill.
My question: what exactly should I expect when I pull the drums?
Maybe just dirt and corrosion keeping the pads from retracting?
maybe a stuck piston. I'm just looking for your been there,
done that story. Thanks guys.
