Some good ideas here but don't turn the drum anymore.

A picture or more information would be a great help.

If we knew the model would help because then maybe could

Look it up in the truck manual to see what type it has.

Are the brakes full floating?

Meaning are the "heal" of the shoes able to float.

This type would have the adjuster screw between the two shoes.

Some were fixed anchor type were the heal of the shoes are

Pinned and cannot move other than to rotate.

This type uses a cam on each shoe at the top to adjust.

The bottom anchor pins also are a cam and can be rotated to center the shoes.

Once centered the lower cams are not to be bothered.

When further adj. is needed the top cams are used.
