The Ford Barn

This on a 1936 model 68.
Aside from all the pro's cons of the brake board approach, I did use one adusted all as described, however when i removed the board after the "third" step adjustment, the rears were still locked.
I am assuming the problem is the rod length and I should "shorten" the rears as the first two steps in the board were not activating the brakes on the first two steps.
I'm going to just back off the rears on the adjustment screws until I get rotation and use that as my first adjustment to the rod length.
thoughts?
