I haven't looked for any new parts..
But I expect a used drum is what you'll end up, and having the shoes relined is not that big of a deal.

Anyone know if it's the same setup as an SM420? I have one of those...

It's not the same. The sm420 used a band that went around the drum. The later ones had 2 shoes, one inside the drum & one outside. You will probably have to find the parts from salvage or like Grigg say's get the shoes relined.


They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.

Medium Duty trucks had the external band brake while the Heavy Duty trucks used the 2-shoe set up. I have both types on my 1956 Chevy trucks.

Like others have said, just re-line what you have...
