Default Brakes

Your brake adjustment is too tight. Adjusting 8 lug drums is done differently than the typical 5 bolt hubs. Spin the wheel till it drags, then back off 10-12 clicks. The aluminum hubs swell with heat & if they are adjusted too tight the drum will heat up & the car will pull to that side. I had the same problem with my '62 GP & this system stopped that problem.
