Yes,all components are new. And I did check to make sure the shoes were on correct. Just removed drums and everything is clean and dry. No axle grease leaks. Hit the entire assembly with brake cleaner. Backed off the star adjuster and reset to proper specs. Re-tensioned E-brake cable. Brake fluid in master is at level. Just took car for test drive and a strange thing happened. When I eased in to the brake, the right rear did not lock up, BUT the brake light on the dash came on as I pushed the peddle harder. Did not continue the test drive. Sometimes it takes 10+ minutes of driving before the right rear locks up, but I don't take chances when it comes to brakes. So I don't know if the lock up is fixed, OR, I have a new problem.

So when you say "all components" I assume you mean the springs and pins were replaced as well (which is what I was going to recommend).
The next thing (IMO) is to remove the drums (both) and inspect everything, ensure you don't have the long shoe on the front, springs are where they're supposed to be, shoe pads are clean/dry, etc.
Theoretically you have the same hydraulic pressure to both sides. So that excluded, it has to be something mechanical. shruggy
