hi, I have a 1969 1/2 ton step side - 6 lug wheels with drums all around. (all stock)

the truck is parked an hour and a half from where I live, but I want to order drums and pads before going there .. my questions

-- are these the 11 X 2 size brakes ?

-- are the front /rear drums and pads the same?

-- what do the different outside diameter dimensions mean - 12.375 - does it matter?

-- how about finned vs non-finned?

-- are the larger brakes (11 x 2 3/4) just for 3/4 ton and 1 ton?
