So, I removed the front left brake shoes and cleaned them to reveal any part numbers; only "PATENTED BENDIX MADE IN USA".
Of course I can buy them on ebay for 78/axle, so I may just do that. I would rather buy them at NAPA if I knew the cross reference number.
I also researched the weep hole under the bearings and cleared it out but couldn't see daylight, so I have to keep cleaning to make sure it is clear. ALOT of dirt/mud/grease packed behind the backing plate.
Here's a copy from BigKev's post of what the weep hole should look like:
