45 Truck parking brake problems

Per Rich B's comment, I went out and looked at my backing plates. The place where the cable threads through the backing plate is bolted on, so it seems that there is that difference between my backing plates and Rich's. Pic attached.

Sorry about the misdirection; I totally overlooked that those open drive banjo truck rears had bolt on E-brake cables.

I've had much of the same problem when brake shoes are adjusted free and fine, but after travelling 5 miles the L-rear begins to drag and get HOT. I'm going to gut all of the e-brake components and see if problem persists, tomorrow.
