Brake shoe recommendation? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**MikeB** · 07-29-2002, 03:02 PM

Hey, all you Drum Brake Club members -- what shoes should I use on the rear of my C-10? It has the 71-72 finned drums. My Pep Boys Raybestos shoes have plenty of material left, but all 4 are cracked. Who makes the good stuff ?

i thought this question was already answered on engine and drivetrain or suspension board? (one of those)

You know, I thought I posted the question a few days ago, but can't find it anywhere.

You're right. I found it on the Engine & Drivetrain board. Hey, being an old guy, I may have done it! You know what they say about memory. (I'd tell you but I forgot.)
