I went to a local cruise in asking around and it turns out a friend of mine has one so he let me borrow it.

Looks like I need some pads so where's the best place to pic some up at an affordable price?

No pads, you need shoes! Napa will have them. Then should also have the wheel cylinders. Check out the Parts X-Ref for more info.

Pull the drum and make sure all the springs are not broken or unhooked. Sounds like something's binding in there, especially in reverse.

Look at the service manual and do the "Major" brake adjustment. I bet your forward shoe is dragging.
