Hi Larry, What part number are the brake shoes from NAPA? I just ordered a set through them for my ' 58 DeSoto and they were too thick. They were supposed to be for the 11"x 2 1/2" mopar brakes. The part number was TS 85, and the listing in their catalog said ' 59--' 62 or therabouts. The lining material is too thick! So, beware! (The drum wouldn't fit over the shoes once mounted, even with the adjusters all the way in). Now, logically you'd think that a one year difference wouldn't make a difference, considering that ' 57 thru at least ' 62 were "Total contact brakes" and not the earlier Lockeed brakes. Perhaps someone out there can offer some insight on this subject. Good luck with your brakes, Larry.
