source for brake shoes
I am working on a 1950 F2 and am having a hard time finding brake shoes for front and rear.
they are 12" X 1 3/4" shoes
Where is a good sourc??
I looked at Mac's, Sacremento Vintage.
And what's the most I can turn the drums??
Book says .020" over but I think I'll need to go more than that on 1 or 2 of the drums.
thanks,

You will need to find a brake shop that has a brake lining riveting machine. Not that EZ to find in today's world.

I relined ours myself. Rivet city! One set is enough do all four linings.
Punch the old rivets out with a pin punch. Then the new rivets are set with a rivet set tool. It's not rocket surgery but it does take some time to do it well.
I'll post pictures in a bit, busy now.

Chuck's Trucks would be my first call, followed by Joblot. I have riveted the linings onto the shoes for my 37 sedan. Not at all a hard job, but you do want to get one of the ~$25 brake shoe riveting tools.

The 12" shoes are hard to find. I'll dig around and find out where I got mine. Actually I believe that the Ford parts book does list a lining and shoe assembly for F-2 (Model D) unless I'm not reading it right Bill? 8J-2018 & 8J-2019
I'll have to search my paperwork.

It looks like Dennis Carpenter has the fronts:
Front shoes w/linings
I would call them to make sure that they are 12"
Still looking for the rear shoes with linings which is what I bought.

OK - I found it. Look at part #51A-2001 from Early Ford on Page 5

If you read what they have printed in their catalogue you are not sure if they are 11" or 12" parts so I called Lou at their main number and he made sure that I got the right 12" shoes.
Confusing but it worked.
