Sounds to me that there might be a cable broken and nothing, (except the pedal) is moving. Make shure you have a cable hooked to the pedal. If you do, check if the cable is moving when you depress the pedal. (you can have somebody depress the pedal while you look underneath for any movement). If the cables are moving, the next step is to open the rear drums and check if the brace between the two shows are installed. If they are not there, the shoes won' t engage the drum. Let us know the results.
because you user name has "70" in it, I assume that this is the year of your car. If so, you will have 3 cables, one from the pedal, and you will have a bracket, on the driver side, a little ahead of the differential housing, that hooks the 2 other cables, (one for each wheel). When you depress the pedal, the front cable should pull the 2 other cables. Because you told us that the pedal moves very freely, I suspect the front cable being broken. It might move close to the pedal, but maybe not at the other end. Again, i suggest that, you crawl underneath and have somebody depress the pedal and make shure that ALL 3 cables are moving. If your car is a 1970, the cable that goes to the passenger wheel is very long and might be seized. Let us know...
