All the shoes I'm seeing in the parts cross reference are for '54 Clippers, and it looks like they were all put up by you. So I'm assuming all those are for the 11" brakes that the Deluxe Clippers had.

I have ZERO experience with drum brakes, so forgive my ignorance here. I'm assuming that shoes for 11" brakes will not work on 12", correct?

I may just need to remove and measure, then go from there. It's not like I'm going to be at the point of replacing shoes immediately. I have to redo the brake lines, clean and paint the backing plates and drums, new bearings and seals all the way around, etc.
