The only way to fix drum brakes is to remove them and install BIG discs.

Not all rims can be re-used with drum-to-disc changes ... clearance problems.

Like has been said, start with the fronts (very slight drag when rotating wheel). Another thing that's critical is air pressure in tires. A low tire (even just a couple of pounds) will amplify when you hit the brakes and load the tire.

If its pulling to one side when you tap the brakes, first thing I'd check would be ball joints. If pedal is low then comes "up" with a pump, brake adjustment.

Of course, I was out of HS when this thing was on the showroom floor new.........
