Are your wheel cylinders frozen? Do the brakes work?
Try backing one set of shoes way off the drums and see if you get any pedal
movement. Jack that wheel and have someone turn it to see if the brakes
seem to make contact with the drum when the pedal's depressed.
If one wheel works, try it with the other three, then readjust.
Hope that's of some help.
