Desperately looking for a correct set of rear brake shoes for 5S003.  Big brakes, segmented.

Need asap, thanks!

As a non-original replacement, aren't those Galaxie/Full size/ Pick-up drum brake assemblies?

The big cars typically do not use segmented semi metallic brake shoes but those are what was use originally on 65/66 GT350.

Thanks Bob. I did that upgrade on my 1969, adding the rear drum assemblies from a 1965 Galaxie. Yes, different material and not segmented, but yes to the sizing and origin of the parts. Forced 15" wheel size. I also had to change the M/C for one with a correct bore to keep the brakes working correctly, but made a big difference in stopping.

not to muddy a post any further (OK I will, sorry Charles) but 65 Galaxie used 11" rear brakes. The Shelbys used 10

Are you looking for bonded or riveted?
