Or jack one rear wheel at a time off the ground, then adjust one of the snail cams until the shoe is close enough to the drum to indicate whether the drum is out of round.
( Edit. Don't forget to back off the adjustment afterwards, though... )

If you had an assistant available to press the brake pedal gently, that should work just as well.

Fwiw, I find that it's usually drum brakes which cause this sort of problem, with over-tightening of rear wheel nuts sometimes to blame on A series vehicles.
