We checked LMC and American Classic. Neither list them on their websites. Our shoe material delaminated and needs to be replaced.
Better yet, does anyone know where we can find riveted shoes rather than glued??
Thanks!

Another option is to find a local truck repair shop and have them reline your shoes. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2003 Posts: 565 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jun 2003 Posts: 565 | Local auto parts stores should have access. Like this one

Those huck-type brake parts are getting scarce.

PS, drums are harder to find, so careful when turning... | | | | | Joined: Sep 2012 Posts: 74 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2012 Posts: 74 | Why not just have yours relined? That's what I did. I also have a spare set just in case.
PS, drums are harder to find, so careful when turning... How much was the relining? Where should we look? | | | | | Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 65 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 65 | Try Jim Carter Truck Parts at 1-800-336-1913 or this link

Their website is not the easiest to use, but lots of parts and you can always call them for more info. I bought Huck brake shoes for my 1949 GMC 3/4 ton through Jim Carter. | | |
