Jack up the front end, unhook the front brake rod Clevis, are they still dragging? I would jack up both axles, back off the Shoes at each wheel, and adjust the Rods according to Les Andrews Red Book, and then Adjust the Shoes.

I just put New Front Drums and Shoes on mine, Had to start all over. Had to Back Off Front rods almost 3/4 of an inch.
