Rear Brakes locking up very easily?

[jpatters13]

I just bought and 84 Chevy K10 Silverado with a 305 and 700R4 tranny.  Every time I hit the rear brakes at lower speeds they lock up.  I bled the lines but no air appeared.  Can anyone clue me in on what I need to get them to stock locking up?

Most of the time that is caused by soaked rear brake shoes as a result of leaking axle seals and/or wheel cylinders.  Pull your rear drums and take a look.

If they are way out of adjustment they tend to do this as well.

Thanks guys. Sorry for the late reply. I had two cracked brake shoes and my cylinders were leaking.  Replaced shoes and cylinders, bled the lines, brakes work perfectly.  Thanks again!
