NEED HELP RESTORING BRAKES ON 63 FJ45 PICKUP

[ANVILBRAINS]

I FOUND A BEAUTIFUL 63 FJ45 PICKUP THAT HAS BEEN IN STORAGE OVER 30 YEARS.
THE BRAKE CYLINDERS ARE FROZE AGAINST THE DRUMS. ANY SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO FREE THEM WITHOUT DAMAGE. I WOULD LIKE TO RESTORE IT TO ORIGINAL DRUM BRAKE SYSTEM FOR NOW, NOT WANTING TO CHANGE TO DISC AT THIS POINT

The drums are probably stuck to the shoes. Pull the truck by the tow hook to try and break them loose. And we all want to see pictures of your barn find please.

You might find some parts you'll need in this post.

This old 45 has a new home in PA!
