I know this may be a dumb question but I'm installing new brake shoes on my 63 C10 Stepside. So I bought the shoes for the front and the back (they are the same) and I bought 1 universal spring kit front and 1 universal kit for the back. I assumed one kit would do both front and the same for the back. After spending 4 hours trying to get one of the front ones on and thinking the springs are color coded I realized that the kit only does one side (I think). The other springs would not come close to lining up. Looking at the springs I took off and the way I have them installed matches. In short does 1 universal kit just do one brake drum?????

Thanks in advance Marcus....
