There's lots of adjusters and springs and small parts that have to be in the correct place to function properly. I'd be willing to make a heavy bet that's where your problems lie. I'd start by removing your drums and comparing what your setup looks like to a known correct setup photo.
Post a photo of each side with the brake drum off and we should quickly be able to tell you if something is way off.

Adjusted the bellcranks tonight so I took some pictures. I didn't see anything out of place, but could use another set of eyes. I also notice my new shoes has some funny wear marks after 30 miles of driving already. I can now feel some light grooves in the drum that I'm not sure were there before. Guess I have to go get new drums or have them turned.
