so i need my 72 to roll in order to get it where i need it...(obviously :lol:)

i got one of the rear wheels (drum brakes) to spin but the other one won't budge...

i haven't looked at the front (discs) yet but i'm sure it'll be as bad...

any thoughts on how to free these up? take them off and remove the drums? anything? :shruggy:

thanks

Have you disconnected your e brake?  I would guess it is rusted and will not release.

There should be a seperate cable running to each side.  If only one side is hanging I would try to pull the drum if you can.  It may not come free if the brake is locked up.  If you don't care about the cable just cut it where it enters through the dust shield.

My back wheel was frozen when I got my Charger. Mine rolled up the trailer fine but froze up backing it off I used a floor jack to get it off trailer and took the wheel off, I had to hit the edge of drum from backside,  the first official work on my Charger involved a large hammer.. luckily that has been the only time I have used that hammer on my car.
