square body 1/2 4x4 brake shoes same as 68 1/2 2wd?
 
Long story short, my friends uncle gave me some brake shoes he bought for his late 70's chevy 4x4 1/2 6 lug with disc brakes, he said his truck had the 'big brakes' or something, and that these (as he hands me the brake shoes) will fit my 68, so I save em until today im replacing wheel cycs/shoes on my truck, the shoes look the same to me so i put em on

they are draggin slightly with adj. all the way loosened (screwed together till it bottoms out, I havent bleed them yet)

the drums come on and off pretty easy with slight drag.

help? do i need a diff. set of shoes?:waah:

look up the part numbers see if they match, if the drums come on and off easily i dont see much of a problem, they kinda drag normally anyways i believe.
