Drum Brake Noises

[Bill <Y1TopBanana73@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've noticed lately that the front drum brakes on my 65 Coronet are
quite noisy...especially when coming to a slow stop. They literally
sound like they are FULL of dust, debirs, broken springs, small
animals, etc., and sound like they are metal to metal @ the same time.
I've pulled the drums several times, to check them. Shoes look fine w/
nice even wear & plenty of meat left. I spray everything off w/ brake
clean, re-pack the bearings, put it back together, and they are fine
for a little while, but not very long.

I will add that this is my first all drum brake car so I don't have
much experience w/ front drums. So my ultimate question is...anyone
else experience this? Is it "normal"?
