One ton brake parts source? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

So I went to the parts store and they told me if I have the skinney shoes, I'm in luck, it I have the wide ones, I'm screwed.
They also told me that my wheel cylinders will be like 50 bucks each...depending on what size they are...no listing for a rebuild kit.

So here goes...where can I locate the hard to find items...asuming I'll be needing them.
Am I able to just unbolt the entire backing plate and brake assembly off, and install a later model....if so, any ideas on what to look for. What would I do for drums/bearings/hubs.
I'd like to replace this HO72, but it isn't really do-able at the moment....but the brakes are kerfagled, so i have to do something.
Ideas?
Part numbers?
Web sites?
hand grenade...please?
