Default clanking sound in rear left brake drum

I do not notice this sound when the doors are shut, but I noticed when I was trying to back the car around a pile of siding out of the garage and I pressed on the brakes. The shoes on it are probably 70%. Could this sound just be a normal, 5.0 being a pain in the ***, sound... I'm sure you guys know what I mean when I say that...

might be alot of axle endplay, mine does that, the cross pin in the diff is bad. jack up the back and push/pull the wheel see how much it moves in and out. it wont hurt anything, mine moves around .25in.

I had the same noise in an old Bronco. Turned out the trac-loc was shot. Put it up in the air and see if you can get both wheels to turn. If not you need to rebuild your dif.

I'm doing gears once I get the money. I'm going to rebuild everything.
