I made a deal for this old truck that has been sitting  outside,  on a rental storage lot,  for about 10 years.   It's a IRWIPI.  Far from that now.   Wheels are locked up.


I figure it's break shoes rusted to the drums. I guess the best way to address that would be to go out there with the tool box, some liquid wrench, floor jack, jack stands and a brake adjustment tool and work each wheel. Start with trying to loosen the wheel cylinder adjustment and whack around on the drum. I guess you'd have to loosen the drum from the axel or spindle first. Not sure how best the approach this. Any thoughts?
