I just went through this process on my 55 C3-PW. I found 2 puller bolts on one of the wheel hubs and used those but quickly ran out of bolt. So I switched to using 3 - 3/8" x 2" course thread bolts and was able to get the drums off. The left rear drum was pretty well frozen so it took awhile but eventually broke free. Like Mark said, turn each bolt a little at a time so that the drum will come off evenly.
Quick plug for Gordon Maney's Dodge Service 3rd Printing: The first chapter covers brakes and is very well written; you can't go wrong following his advice. I am a novice and even I felt confident in tackling this job after reading this chapter. Highly recommended.
