Touchy rear brakes, locking up

Well the temps have gone up to the 40s here for the past couple of days and have been getting rain. Yesturday I have taken the truck out and when I would go to use the brakes, the rear breaks would lock up when going slow with just the slightest touch of the brake pedal.

Only thing I can think of why this is happening is maybe the axle seals are shot and now the gear oil has soaked into the brake shoes and now that there is lots of rain/moisture, that could be pulling the oil from the shoes causing them to grab the way they do.

Not really sure what else could cause this.

Thanks for any and all suggestions guys. Have a great weekend!
