This is a typical symptom from contaminated linings. Replace both sides,
and make very sure the drum and all brake hardware is washed off with brake
cleaner (special stuff, available at any auto parts place, and also make
very sure that the grease seals and wheel cylinders are totally bone dry -
no seepage at all.

Subject: IML: Brakes - '57
> Would replacing shoes on the rear of a '57 which now has a tendency to
lock one wheel when left parked for a while the first time the brakes are
applied eliminate the locking problem?

since replaced.

problem will go away after the brakes are applied a few times.
