If it *is* a sticking rear caliper, it could mean those fles hoses to the axle pipes are deteriorated inside. The symptom I encountered with my '69 is one-way pressure to the right rear caliper.

It was so bad the pads weere actually bent into semi-circles!

Am replaceing the calipers, pads, rotors, flex hoses right now.

It if comes to this, ask me for advice on getting the couplings loose, so you can keep the hydraulic lines from turning wight off with the connectors.
