No...there are no civilian shoes that will work without alot of work...there are some that can be modified in a jig...I think they are Chevy truck shoes...

Remember he stock M715 has 13 inch brakes...those are for 11 inchers...

The mod as done on the old zone does work. I had to replace only one set of shoes on my 715 (they were the only working wheel when I got the truck)

I went to NAPA and got a set of those shoes. I think they were listed for a late 70's Chevy dually rear. I didn't go the jig route though. I just measured the old stock shoe and then marked and cut mine off with a portable bandsaw to match. I also trimmed the crimped portion the inside of the shoe for the backing plate clearance. They stop just fine.
