Hey guys on my 88 im having trouble with my rear. The right side brake keeps locking up and Ive changed everything in the brakes and this problem went away for a lil while then outta the blue it starts up again :gonnablow Im bout to just go spend the $40.00 for another axle but id still like some help for the future thanks
 
I've seen the shoes hang up on grooves in the backing plate and cause the other side to lock up prematurely.

I've also experienced a sticking parking brake cable causing it.

Assuming that "everything in the brakes" includes the wheel cylinders (another prime candidate), I'd dig into the side that's not locking up and look for mechanical problems on items that are not generally replaced with "everything."
