51 chevy drum brake adjusting???

I have a 51 chevy deluxe and when I brake it pulls to the left quite a bit.
I havent done much work on these and
was wondering if someone could give me some advice on how to get rid of the puling problem..
thanks for the help..

Better take the drum off, the wheel cylinder may be leaking which will make it drag. If they just need adjusting, adjust them out until you can feel the shoe just starting to drag on the drum. Pretty simple..
