What I would do is get a handle on the condition of your drums, first. If your parts truck has the same brakes then that is an advantage. There have been posts on here suggesting that light grooves in the drums are nothing to worry about. The next hardest brake part to buy I think would be the springs. The shoes can be relined and the cylinders rebuilt.
