its the parking brake cable or the wheel cylinders. or the clips that hold the shoes on the backing plate.

Default brakes locked up

Inside the brake drums there is a lever that is actuated by the parking brake cable. if you take that lever out and wire brush the rust off and paint it (with High temperature Caliper Paint) it should stop seizing up. if all else fails, lube the inner workings of the drums with some anti-seize grease.
