Do they only lockup going forward? There could be a light layer of rust on the surface of the inside of the drums causing the shoe to aggressively self energize. I've noticed this sort of thing on my G at times of long storage. Leaking wheel cylinders generally cause pulling to one side, not lockup in my experience. I would try backing up and applying the brakes several times to see if it alleviates the problem. Of course, shining a flashlight on the backside of the brake backing plate and looking for fluid leakage is a good idea too, but I'm betting the problem will go away once they get exercised.

Engine started up just fine, but the brakes didn't. When I apply the brakes normally, they totally lock up. Backing up, by only a few inches, releases them, but normal stops again result in lock up. Before I tear into the brakes, any suggestions about I might be looking for?
