Pull, sand, regrease the slide pins. Grease all your joints while you have the wheels off. As far as the rear, just the pads. Though if the adjuster is rusty, you should replace and readjust those. Doing rear pads are easy.

 Drum brakes are a pain in the ass. But if you have the brake spoon and other tool it is a little easier. It also gets easier the more times you do it, but your shoes usually last 50,000 miles or more, so you'll probably only do it once while you own your truck. rlith might have been thinking your truck was 4 wheel disc, but unless you upgrade, it isn't. As far as adjusting your drum brakes, put the shoes back on and the drum. There should be a little window in the drum that gives you access to the adjusting star. Turn the adjusting star to were there is drag when you spin the drum, then back it off 2 turns. After your wheels are on and you are ready to drive. IN AN EMPTY PARKING LOT, (make sure there are no cars around you) shift into reverse and go between 5 and 10 mph, slam on your brakes. Do this 3 or 4 times. Drum brakes have an auto adjust feature, and by doing this, it enables it and adjust the brakes to the proper tightness. Hope this helps.
