Re: help with the brakes on my 70
I'd start with pulling the drums and looking for moisture

Like Andy said, if they get any moisture or condensation on the inside of the drum they will grab like crazy until you drive it a ways and get them dried out and the flash rust off of the drums.... My White '67 with drums all around does the same thing. If it is mainly one wheel then you may have a problem with a leaking wheel cylinder or rear axle seal. LockDoc

Temp doesn't have as much to do with it as humidity. If it is hot during the day and cools off at night you will get condensation on the heavy metal parts like the front and rear end components and engine block... LockDoc

Re: help with the brakes on my 70

Re: help with the brakes on my 70
I'm thinking the shoes need buffing with Emory cloth and inside of drum then re adjust the drums again ,also lube the backing plate where the shoes make contact ,white lithum grease
