Your symptoms don't trigger anything specific that I've experienced so probably you should pull that rear drum and take a good look. You might however first check the tightness of the axle nut retaining the drum. That era preceded torque specifications but it should be atleast 200 ft-lbs, probably more like 225-240.

Were the drums turned when the new linings were installed? Did you do a full major adjustment after the reline?
