I don't have a picture for you, but the adjustment is done with the cam that is on the parking brake strut. just stick a small screwdriver between the ratchet teeth (it will slide back slightly under spring tension) it will then rotate on the strut assembly. if you rotate it one way it will make the strut longer (push the brake shoes out) and if you rotate it the other way it will make it shorter and bring the brake shoes in.
first, dont buy any car from some DIY yahoo thats too cheap to pay for brakes, that can get you killed. About the rear clunk, theres a problem so take the drums off, and the problem should be obvious. you may need a hardware kit and a picture of what the brake shoes are supposed to look like properly mounted
haynes manual I have shows frontshoe (the one with less material)and is called the primary shoe..did the same on a 68 charger 4 drums and headache!!!remember one side at a time, lay the old shoe on the side it came off of for reference.
