Carl/Andy, Had to switch back to the forum from PM since PM does not allow pictures to be attached. Anyway, thanks Carl for your insights. To catch anyone else following this thread, based on everything that Andy and I have checked you think that the only two potential problem areas left are brake drums or brake shoes. Andy and I thought about the drums (in fact were hoping that my drums had been 'turned' to much). Not the case. I measured the inside diameter of my drums and they were 11". Andy found somewhere on line that new drums were 11.09" inside diameter. So we concluded the drums were not the problem. That leaves only the shoes. I will order a new set of rear shoes tonight from Classic Parts unless you or Andy have a better idea. I did receive a new rear wheel cylinder today from Classic Parts and it is the same size as the one that I have installed. I have attached a photo of my rear cylinder adjusted so that there is just a hint of a drag on the drums. As you can see the adjustment screws are 'way out' rather than close in as you would expect with good drums and new rear shoes.
