Vehicle: 1985 Mitsubishi Mighty Max Pick-up
Problem: I can't budge it.
Background: This is my "dump" truck. I drive it mainly to haul something to the local dump. It sits for weeks, sometimes months, between uses. I just drove it Mother's day weekend with no problems.

(Eureeka -- I just figured out the problem when I typed that last sentence. The key was what I used the truck for that weekend. I'll finish in case anyone's interested.)

Got in last night and started it up. Put it in gear and it wouldn't move. I don't think it's a transmission problem because I can feel the torque of the engine when I ease the clutch out and try to accelerate. Won't move in 1st or reverse. Feels like the brakes are locked up.

The last time I drove it was to launch a boat. Rear wheels were about half submerged at the ramp. Came back, parked it and put the parking brake on. I'm sure the rear shoes are rusted to the drums. Or at least some brake component is rusted.

So any tips on how to free it up? I plan to jack up the rear, put it on jack stands, take the wheels off and see if I can get the drums off. I don't know if there's a port to back off the self adjusters, but I'll find out when I get into it. I anticipate I'll have to use a hammer on the drums judiciously. Anything else I should prepare for?

Thanks in advance.
