Rear Brake sticking- Left side

[kool1972]

1972 C20 with 12" x 2 1/2" shoes. I replaced pretty much everything(springs, adjuster wheels, etc) Problem is that after I put everything back together and adjusted the brakes. The left side started sticking on so bad I can't even turn the wheel by hand. It seems they are self adjusting farther than they should. I have readjusted it again, but I am racking my brain trying to figure out what the heck. The right side is fine, just an issue with the left side. When I am done driving it I do back it up into the driveway.

Any ideas as to what would be causing the Left side brakes to stick on?

Thanks in advance.

My best guess would be that the adjuster is backwards and it just getting tighter and tighter going forward when they usually adjust backing up.

Thats what I thought too, but not sure why the Right side is not being affected. I guess it is possible to have a wrong part. Thought I checked its rotation for correct direction before installing it. But I could have messed that up.

*** UPDATE ***

After checking all my work. The star wheel and all springs have been installed correctly. I ended up replacing the shoes with Wagner instead of Bosch. Its working like its supposed to now.
