Default Rear brakes glazed?

I am slowly getting my 72 set up for 100% street. Figured I would pull the drums before I put the rally wheels on. Had a leaking brake cylinder. I changed the rear brake cylinders and rear flex hose to the rear. Installed new rear shoes. I did a brake check on the dirt farm road and the back wheels will not lock up. I jacked rear of the car up and put in gear and have to press the pedal as hard as I can to stop the wheels from spinning. Also with e brake applied I can get it to move with a little throttle.
I never had a line lock when I raced this car. Just held the brakes. I never noticed this brake problem when I was racing it. But never looked for it. I have been racing it on and off this way for 20 years, With very little street driving.
Do you think the rear drums are glazed?
Tomorrow I will pull the drums and inspect them closely. I will try and sand them to see it helps.
