Anyone know where I can get front brake shoes? They are different than the 1/2 ton.
Was told by Fillingstation.com they are not made for the 3/4 and suggested I get mine relined?? Which is quite expensive.

AutoZone shows 12"x2" shoes and drums. They list only rear. But, I believe they are the same for front and rear. Maybe, someone hear can confirm/deny that.
I tried to copy/paste the link. But, the link only takes you to the main page. Select your vehicle. Then search brakes.
They may even be in stock locally.
Hope this helps.
