I have a 1953 1 ton Chevrolet long box pickup and a and a 1950 1 Ton GMC, both Canadian trucks. I couldn't find shoes for them either. the 1950 has the earlier design and the 1953 has the more modern design of brakes. (drums are almost interchangeable but need a small modication to work.) I had my existing shoes re-lined for about $50 each wheel pair, two days time and everything works really well.
