The front shoes were available locally for my '54, but the rears had to be re-lined. Not a bad deal. The front drums were turned, but for some reason the rears would not fit the same machining equipment as the fronts! Maybe just a quirk or a misread. Different NAPA parts people will give you different stories. If they take time to really look stuff up, they usually have it. In a larger town with a bunch of NAPA stores and a warehouse, they can usually get one that they don't have in stock by the next day. Any NAPA can source parts from any NAPA, it justs might take a few extra days if you live farther from the source.

One thing oftentimes not considered in matching brake shoes by illustration is the thickness of the web.
