Still happens all the time up here in Michigan, rust doesn't help anything lol. I just adjusted the brakes up on my 1995 F250, was a good 5 turns out of adjustment on each side, pedal much higher now.

Even better, look at a Toyota echo rear drum brakes, there's no adjustment! You adjust them by replacing the shoes, pretty crazy design, super budget/cheap car.
