A comment and suggestion.... I just put new shoes on one of my trailers. It was locally built so I called the place to price the four brake shoes. Wanted $70 and change for four shoes! Mine is hydraulic actuated from the hitch point, but a shoe is a shoe. It has a 12 inch drum and two inch wide shoes. Here"s what I did, went to my local Napa dealer and had them open up thier brake shoe book (I"m sure other dealers have the same\similar books). Had pages of pictures with sizes to look thru. I found mine among them and ordered them. $22 and change for all four. Had them the next day. Fit perfect! Doing a backwards look-up from the shoe part number, they are the same as the rear shoes on an older (69-72) Chevy 3/4 ton truck. Might be worth looking into for your application. Couldn"t hurt.
