Brake Question

The front drums/shoes on my 67 are I think in need of replacement as the drivers side seems to be at the limit of the adjuster. Can anyone give me an idea of how much "meat" there should be on the shoe when new as opposed to replacement time. Also how do I check that the drum is still in tolerance? The passenger side does have a slight lip on the outer edge but the drivers side seems fine. I guess what I am concerned with is if the previous owners have had them skimmed at some point. Thye do pull to the right slightly and I think thats because of the driver side being past adjusting.

Thanks Guys
