What Trucks came with Heavy Duty 6 Lug Rear Brakes

I am trying to redo the rear brakes on my 68 4x4. It is riding on a later model chassis and has the heavy duty rear brakes (deeper drum, wider shoes). Does anyone know what trucks came with this option so I can order the right parts (failed at that twice already).

Thanks - Farrell

Good chance they are 11 x 2 3/4 rear shoes at a guess

I think I found the shoes, but the drums that arrived looked like what I needed, but they were 5 lug.

I don't know if it's a matter of heavy duty or not. Later trucks got bigger brakes. But the problem with what you got is, no matter what years they sent you, they were for the wrong truck in any year. They looked up C10 when you need K10. Parts listings distinguish between the two. If you said 4wd and they sent you 5-lug drums, they don't know how to look up parts.
