Rear brake issue....help...

86 GMC has developed a strange issue, seems to be in the rear brakes. As you come to a stop, right before you stop, truck jerks fairly violently then stops. It started out as a light grab, but has progressed. I figured axle seal (s) were leaking, but they werent. Truck sat for 2 years and didnt have the problem before.

Things to check?

Thanks!!!

Condition of the brakes in general?
Drums scored? Pads wore out? self adjusters to tight?
Was the truck stored with the e-brake on? Drum may not even be round anymore.

I'm kinda like duct tape- no real purpose, but handy to have around.
