I'll wait till I mount them just to be certain.
These are NOS Bendix R33 with EDF Lining Riveted Truck Brake Shoes Dodge Ford GMC IHC Jeep 1981 Dodge D250 Base Cab & Chassis 2-Door 1978 Dodge D300 Base Cab & Chassis 2-Door 1975 Ford P-350 Front 1974 Ford F-250 Pickup Front Napa carried them, but it looked like the same dirty lining I was trying to get rid of.

Randy (and others); as I mentioned to you on the phone the other night, maybe 20 years ago I fitted Ford/Dodge truck brake shoes to the rear of my 48 Custom 8. Again they were an exact match except for the width of the web were the adjuster mounted. Instead of getting corresponding adjusters I just milled down the web thickness a little until the stock adjuster fit.
Interchange among brake shoes with just minor differences like this are extensive!

Thanks for chiming in Dave. Packard Sr. brakes are a little heavier than Chebbies or Fords or Clippers. Clipper brake shoes seem plentiful. Senior cars not so much. I'm going to the basement now and wrestle for a while. Have to mount the oil pump and pan tomorrow.
