Are the drums slip-on or stake-on? If slip-on it would be simple but stake-on requires the axleshafts to be removed (expect gear oil to leak from the ends of the axle) and the wheel hubs/drum assemblies removed, much like how front hub assemblies are removed. And expect much more gear oil to leak once these are removed. Once you get this far you should be able to access the brake shoes, remember the long shoe always goes towards the back of the truck!
