Question What Size Brake Shoes For Eaton HO52?

Getting ready to gather up parts for the rear brakes on my '69 C-20. Eaton H052 rear end. Seeing 2 different sizes for brake shoes. 11-5/32" X 2-3/4" or 12" X 2-1/2". Am I right in thinking it's the 11-5/32" X 2-3/4" shoes that I want?

I've got the same truck and same rear end, but I don't remember what size the brakes were on mine. I would just measure them if you can.

If I only wanted two pedals I'd have bought a bicycle.

Thanks for the reply, don't really want to pull it all apart before I get the parts together.

buy both sizes ... tear it apart ... replace with the correct sized ones ... return the unused set for a refund

Expensive, but I'm thinking that may be what I have to do.

Or you can make sure the auto parts store has both in stock then take yours in and match them.

The parts have to be ordered. I think I'm going to have to order both setups. Luckily I don't have to do this right away.
