brake problem

I've had the left rear wheel locking up for a while and haven't driven the truck. Today I had time to mess with it. After pulling the wheel and the drum, I found 2 problems. 1st, the spring over the adjuster between the brake shoes was broken. 2nd, I had a right-side adjuster on the left side. So I dug thru my parts stash & found some new parts. After I got everything back together I took it for a short drive. No wheel lock up so far, but tomorrow I will put some miles on the truck. Wish me luck.

So today I put about 60 miles on the truck. No brake problems. They just need to be adjusted.
Hopefully the problem is solved.
