Brake trouble

DT1 that was my first thought maybe because it isn't one wheel it's both. So is the valve adjustable or do I need to buy a new one? If so do I buy an exact replacement or something else?

You should still check to make sure that you don't have a leaking wheel cylinder.
Even a small leak in one of them can compromise the rear system and cause both to lock up in a panic stop.
Also, make sure your brake indicator light is hooked up and working. If you're NOT getting an indicator at the dash the valve is probably adjusted right.
If you are getting a light, you will have to bleed the system to re-center the pin until the light goes out.

You can also install an aftermarket, adjustable valve that you can dial in to suit your preference.

I am rebuilding the brakes on my C-20 right now. The right rear wheel cylinder is leaking and both axle seals appear to be leaking. The front shoes were worn down to the rivets and the rears were worn through the shoes and into the metal backing... I will be replacing all of the above. I have been getting my parts at my local NAPA Store. They also turned my brake drums for me. So far so good.
