As an old rule, drums cannot be turned (machined) more than .090" (90 thousandths of an inch), so if you have 10 inch drums, and the measurement is 10.090 or more, they need to be replaced.

My first question would be why did you do the brakes in the first place and why only the rears? Some possible things to check are leaks some place in the lines, brake adjustment is even from side to side on the rear brakes and then try re bleeding them starting with the farthest brake from the master cylinder and doing all 4 brakes. Have someone pump the brake pedal smoothly and slowly around 3 to 4 pumps, then have them hold firm pressure on the pedal while you brake the bleeder loose, do not open it a lot, just crack it loose let fluid out, communication between the two people is very important at this juncture, the person in the truck must not let off the pedal until you have re-tightened the bleeder, repeat until you are certain no air remains in this portion of the brake line. Remember to keep an eye on the master cylinder as if it runs out of fluid you will have to start all over again. Repeat the bleeding steps until all 4 brakes are bled. I hope this helps! Marty

The specs for the drum are located on the outside edge of the drum. The max and min diameter are listed. Just remove the wheel and read it.
