8/23/21: Today I worked on my front brakes “again”. On a hard stop the truck would pull pretty hard to the left, directly into the oncoming lane. I didn’t feel comfortable driving her until I sorted out the issue. Previously I tried readjusting the brakes, centering the shoe pivot and changed both front brake hoses with no improvement. Today I removed the drums to try Hotrod Lincoln’s suggestion of gluing sandpaper inside the drum and sand each shoe to fit, a poor man’s manual arcing machine. I found if you used a half sheet of regular sandpaper (120 grit) you could keep it in place pinching it to the drum with your other hand. It didn’t take much sanding to arc them in but that was not the problem. The issue was self induced by me installing the shoes improperly. I put the passenger side primary shoe on the back instead on the front where it belongs. The drivers side was installed properly so it was stronger causing the truck to pull to the left. Boy do I feel stupid!

The brakes are much better, and most important, stopping straight, but I do think power front disc setup may be in her near future.
