I just bought some similar Chevy drum shoes made by Satisfied brake here in town. They look very similar to the ones in the above photos. I was wondering if anybody has tried running them without cutting off the top portion. The reason why I ask is they seem to fit up nicely against the round center top pin IF you pull off the trapezoid spacer/adapter.
Again, I have no idea if they would work and don't know what the stock Chevy drum setup looks like. Finally, half of the new shoes are slightly thicker then the other half. I was thinking of replacing the most worn shoe on each drum with the thicker of the new shoe...sound good to you all? Thanks for your help again guys. |

They didn't fit well against the round pin at the top when I tried that myself. I still had to cut the top portion of the shoe off to make them work.
They look like they would, but, no.

Let us not forget the arrow on the trap block must point forward according to the quirk manual. I just finished my re-cyl job and then found out I had 50% wrong!!

What is the actual NAPA part number for the shoes and the springs? Getting tired of the "what vehicle is this off" response from the parts counter.

Can anyone confirm that the vehicle they fit is a 94 chevy K3500 4WD SRW?
Part number I get from Autozone and Part America is 451. Picture appears to be what is shown above. 13 x 2-1/2" shoe txs |

The part number I used is #60 or TS60 NAPA. Then you need the return springs which are United/NAPA #81233
The shoes were $60.00 for the set and the springs were $10.00 back in April of this year.
