That is the plan! I know allot of ‘bolters are advocates for the original drum brakes. I installed new wheel cylinders, new shoes with new hardware, new master cylinder, new flex hoses, arched the shoes into the drums, made sure the shoes were on correctly (primary/secondary) and could lock up the wheels, but still did not feel like I could stop quick enough in a emergency.
