    Well, unfortunately not. The shoes fit so closely, but not close enough. They ride too high on the backing plate. To the point where the drums won't fit.

    So all that had some of this is that the wheel cylinders fit with no mods to the backing plates and still take a 7/16 fitting.

    It all looked so perfect mocked up off the truck.

    It's possible. The shoes only sat up about 1/8"-3/16" high on the backing plate. All the holes lined up. Unfortunately I had to get the truck back together quickly so I didn't have time to play with it.

    Odd that it was so off. With everything mocked up on the backing plate off the truck it looked perfect.

    At any rate, the wheel cylinders fit perfectly. A nice alternative to the $30 something dollar NOS ones.
