Re: Where do you start?
LOL, information overload...
It HAS to be safe, FIRST.
No one has ever been killed in a vehicle that wouldn't run, BUT
if the brakes failed.........
Brakes and wheel bearings first. Front first.
Jack up the back, see if the tires spin freely. Take the drums off, look and the shoes and drums. i did see your other post, your drums look to have been replaced.
Checking the rear axle bearings is the most involved. You have to jack up, remove rear cover (losing rear end oil in process) remove small bolt that holts the bross pin in place ( be careful, that bolt is likely broken). Remove cross pin, push axles in to remove the "C" clips, pull axles out. Axles will be worn in , if they are overly worn. If they just have a witness pattern on them, they are re-useable. You don't have to replace the bearings, but it is good to put new seals in axle, if everything else is good, reassemble, fill with 90 weight gear oil...................
