I found the problem.

It's happening on one side of the fronts only.

The curved plate that guides the cable... it has a round "pin" that inserts into the hole on the brake shoe gusset. That "pin" is about 1/8" around - and it has worn down so much that the plate has moved and allowed the cable to sag.

Time to talk to my local 'Mopar Hoarder' and see if he's got some spare old drum brakes kicking around..
