If the brake locks up when the brakes are applied but release instantly when
the pedal is released I would suspect the problem is not hydraulic in nature.

Thanks Geo.
" A test would be if the brake releases immediately when you crack open the
bleeder."
Do you mean releases fully? It is released enough to not drag when driving.

First suspect that I think of when a rear brake locks up is a bad wheel
cylinder.

Fortunately, if that is the cause the fix is cheap & easy.

Today's problem is a left rear drum that is locking up under braking. I went
to push the 72 out of the garage (after releasing the e-brake) and found the
brakes locked up on the left rear side. We got her to finally move by rocking
her back and forth. Everything seemed to be fine until I stopped quickly on a
drive. That side locked up. Under slow normal braking it is fine. Suggestions?
