OK, in that case, remove the wheel/tire.. Check the drum to be sure there is not a ridge at the lip (inside edge) of the drum caused by wear.. If there is no ridge, tighten the shoes a little bit at a time -- one or two clicks of the adjuster. Do this until the drum will slip on an off with a bit of effort.. This is not a routine procedure, but gives an opportunity to check the shoes and drum for wear.
What gives you the idea that your brakes need adjusting or there's a problem?? Unless I'm mistaken, your truck is equipped with self adjusting brakes..
