Need 1972 C30 rear brake shoe and seal data - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

While visiting the big city I need to obtain rear brake shoes for my 72 C30 with the long wheelbase (173" I think) and it has the heaviest factory rear setup for that year. It is a chassis mount camper/motorhome. Just can't trust these young yahoos in the parts stores to know the correct parts for our old Chevs.

Am 200 miles from the truck and cannot dismantle the rear axle setup right now in order to get sizes etc., and need to get the parts purchased. I think the shoes for those big drums on the heavy 1 ton setup are 15" x 4", but sure would appreciate confirmation/correct info from someone who knows these C30s.

Also want to buy the lube seal that fits into the hub/brake drum if you have a mfr. part number or size (ID/OD) on that one.

Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks.
