On drum brakes there is a long shoe and a short shoe. It has been a several years since I have done drum brakes so I am having trouble remembering if the long shoe goes on the front or rear position of a given wheel. My 54 shop manual (I have a 3100) shows a photo but doesn't indicate if it is the left or right side of the truck.

A refresher on this on this important point would would be greatly appreciated.
