The drum is stuck to the brake shoe, right? I've used heat from a propane torch on the drum to expand it away from the shoe. Make sure there's nothing flammable around.

Thanks Wally, Yes I believe that's the case. The truck has been setting in a garage on jack stands for almost 20 years. There should be no rust involved. The drum must be just stuck to the shoes. Heating the drum makes sense. I'll get my torch out and slowly give the drum the heat treatment and see what happens. Thanks for the quick response and advice.
