Pretty rare to ever wear out a set of shoes on one of them, more likely either oil saturated from a bad axle seal or a leaking wheel cylinder has soaked the linings in brake fluid.
Shops that will reline your shoes are still out there.
Going by memory if yours has the backing plates I am thinking of there should be two bolts at the top of the backing plate that are connected to cams for adjusting the shoes.
To adjust picture two wrenches, one on each bolt pointing up side by side, the direction to turn each cam to move the shoe closer to the drum is the direction it would require to move the top of the wrenches away from each other.
Some of these had a remote mount vacuum booster mounted under the drivers seat, some were under the hood either way a pressure test will give you a good idea of there condition.
800 to 1200 PSI is acceptable.
One more thing, if someone has messed with it and the idle speed is too high then there is nothing that will ever stop it with the torque it has coming off the planetary gears.
