There is a cable which connects to the pedal, then a seperate cable on each rear wheel. Usually just the two at the wheels seize, it's rare to need the front cable. There is also the adjuster and compensator, this is where the one front cable attach to the rear two, the adjuster and compensator also seize, it would be worth the money to check these before assuming they are bad, if you've been using your parking brake occasionally they might be fine. On the adjuster you can go by how the adjusting threads look.
Along with the parking shoes you can buy the hardware kit, that's usually pretty cheap. The pivot, which is the piece inside the drums (rotors, whatever) is often siezed, I believe this would come with the hardware kit. The most common seized part is that pivot and the pin that connects the pivot to the cable end.
Are you sure you are adjusting the parking brake correctly? First you loosen the cbale adjuster, then there is the "star" adjuster you get at through a bolt hole through the rotor and hub, (you need to look up the adustment procedure or I can get "in" to it more), then the cable adjuster is retightened, then check for evenness side to side.
