Locked Rear Wheel help

I finally got the brakes working on my jalopy. Just bled them, with brand new everything in the rear.... sorta. I used a drum off of a 72 K10 on my right rear, and the wheel is locked when i drive the truck on 1st gear - but not in reverse. Anyone know what could cause this? I even jacked the rear end up, and threw it into 1st gear hard, the left rear moves like it should but the right rear doesnt budge. The reason I seem to think the '72 drum is fine becuase the wheels act as they should in reverse. Do I just need to make more room in there? This is brand new shoes in the rear by the way.

Nevermind guys, turns out the star adjuster had opened up on me somewhere during the brake rebuild. Problem fixed.
