1953 Dodge Meadowbrook

So I am seeking any and all help so I had someone start doing my brakes and ended up not doing them so I'm stuck with trying g to put them back myself so I do know somewhat about the cam pins and the anchor bolts with the arrows so if anyone can send me any and all information videos links on how to put them back and adjust them correctly from scratch

please I would greatly appreciate it thank you

OK so when I was going to try everything to put everything back on and do the adjustments like you all said and going by all the links you all shared I noticed the spindle looks VERY VERY worn down like it was rubbing against something any suggestions before I try and put it back together please

I found a MTSC (Master Tech Service Conference) brake video from 1950. However, it appears to depict the same duplex drum brakes like on your 53.

Also, is the other side of the car still together? If so, you can use it as a reference.

Drop by P15-D24.com. It is a site dedicated to these older Mopars.

Looks Assembled correctly...
Appears you just need to figure out the adjustment?

Those are just Shoe Guides... Just put them on dry or use a little dab of disc brake caliper grease on the inner side of the tabs and the backing plate, if you would like..
