Re: 1958 Apache 38 brakes dragging all around.

some ideas:

Brake pedal pivot is gummed up and not pulling back up all the way/spring is weak
Brake master is gummed up /rusted (but usually they would leak too)
All 4 wheels over adjusted
all 4 wheels have gummed up wheel cylinders
All 4 wheels have rusty brake shoe - backing plate contact areas

Does it have an old hydrovac booster under the cab somewhere? it may also be gummed up or the valve to control it is stuck
