C2500 Rear Brake Shoes
I am having a problem finding 2 1/2" x 12" rear shoes for my '67 C2500.
I went to NAPA yesterday and picked up their shoes. I set about replacing them today and this is what I found. The linings , leading and trailing, measure 10" top to bottom. The lining location is staggered for the leading shoe, but the linings are way shorter than the old linings. The lining on old shoes measure 11 1/4" for the leading shoe and 12 3/4" for the trailing shoe. The new shoes have a full 4" shorter lining contact area than the old shoes. NAPA says they now have only one part no. for the 12" shoes. FT-419r. I looked at the web pages for all the local auto parts. Strangely, all their part numbers are a variation of NAPA's 419 number. I called all of them and they don't have the shoes in stock so I can't check the lining without ordering first. One local independent says he can order Raybestos. Raybestos web page has a image, showing full length lining, but it could be a generic photo. Has anyone bought 3/4 ton rear linings lately and what did you get?

Re: C2500 Rear Brake Shoes
These might be what you are looking for. Images look good at least. Could probably call them. I might even have a set of these at home I bought accidentally.

Re: C2500 Rear Brake Shoes
I bought rear brake shoes from NAPA for my '70 truck, and all shoes had full lining. No guessing about the short lined shoe being the primary one. What came off was the same. No idea what the part number was, it was a few years ago. I see the number you're getting now, though. You may have to go to a store that specializes in friction materials to get the full linings.

Re: C2500 Rear Brake Shoes
Strange that the primary and secondary shoe are
the same length. That's not correct with duo-servo brakes.

Re: C2500 Rear Brake Shoes
I bought a set for a Dana 60 at O’Reilly’s recently and they were the short shoes on both sides. I just put one lining toward the top and one toward the bottom if that makes sense. Just like your pic shows.

Re: C2500 Rear Brake Shoes
Yup. I was kind of puzzled, having been a certified and state licensed brake mechanic. The primary shoe doesn't need all that lining. Somewhere, someone got 4 primary shoes in their box...

Re: C2500 Rear Brake Shoes
Mine were the same, part number 419 at autozone and were also about 4” shorter on the linings.
