question on drum brakes
before I actually tear it apart to measure, can anyone tell me what size/width my brake shoes might be? 70 LWB C-10, 4 wheel drum brakes. I had it apart a long time ago but can't remember for sure if they are the same size all around. The reason I ask is the auto parts store asks what size the rears are. Would the back ones be wider? Did they put the wider ones on 1/2 ton trucks? Should I just tear it apart to find out?

Re: question on drum brakes
Strangely enough, I just had my rear brake drums off last night to measure. There 11 x 2" as well. The front drums are tougher since you need to take the hubs off with the drums. I'm assuming they're the same.

Re: question on drum brakes
i'd take apart to look and measure at minimum, a good inspection before diving in to a 40year old brake system assure you get ALL tyhe parts you need in one trip. drums hardware etc all need to b looked at
