The rod which goes between the brake pedal lever and the crossbar behind the cab needs to be adjusted properly as well.
You also need to pull really hard on those cables to make sure that the shoes are contacting the drums before attaching the cables to the crossbar levers.
I recommend that you read The Book several times as there are a lot of steps in the process setting up the parking brakes.
You may even want to write out the process in your own words so that it makes more sense to you. I find that this helps me understand the process of many repairs described in the book, not just brakes.
