Type of rear axle makes no difference inre to brake shoe sizes. Brakes attach to backing plates.

1953/55 F500/C500: Timken C100 was standard equipment, Eaton two speed was optional

Two possible sizes of 1955 F500 brakes. One size was probably standard equipment, the other size was probably optional.

14 1/8" x 3 1/2" rear brakes: 1953/56 F500 & C500.

15" x 4" rear brakes: 1953/56 F600 & C600; 1955/56 F500 & C500.

Here are the linings and wheel cylinders. I'd assume the B7J-2218-A are the 14-1/8" shoes as NumberDummy stated, worth confirming tho.
