You need to be aware that Huck brakes usually need a period of "wearing in" to full contact with the drums before either the service brakes or the parking brake achieves full effectiveness. That usually requires repeated adjustments for the first few miles of operation. The only way to shortstop that process is to grind or sand the brake linings to match the radius of the drum. I like to stick a piece of coarse sandpaper to the drum with water-soluble glue and scuff the linings into full contact with the drum before installing the shoes. Then use boiling water to remove the sandpaper.
