Rear Brake Size

Okay guys, did i do good on the title for other people searching for the same thing?? Just kidding. Anyways, im looking for some rear brakes for the ol ford, while looking online at autozones website, i came across 2 sizes:
1st- <TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width=555 border=0><TBODY><TR><TD width=10></TD><TD vAlign=top width=334><!-- BEGIN PRODUCT DATA TABLE (TEXT) --><TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width=334 border=0><TBODY><TR><TD class=bodybold colSpan=2>About this product:</TD></TR><TR><TD class=body width=94>Part Number:</TD><TD class=body width=240>263</TD></TR><TR><TD class=body width=94>Weight:</TD><TD class=body width=240>7.4 lbs.</TD></TR><TR><TD class=body width=94>Warranty:</TD><TD class=body width=240>LLT </TD></TR><!-- BEGIN "APPLICATION" CODE --><TR></TD></TR><!-- END "APPLICATION" CODE --><!-- BEGIN "NOTE" CODE --><TR><TD class=body vAlign=top width=94>Note:</TD><TD class=body vAlign=top width=240>11 x 2 1/4" brakes

</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>
2nd-<TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width=334 border=0><TBODY><TR><TD class=body width=94>Part Number:</TD><TD class=body width=240>169</TD></TR><TR><TD class=body width=94>Weight:</TD><TD class=body width=240>6.65 lbs.</TD></TR><TR><TD class=body width=94>Warranty:</TD><TD class=body width=240>LLT </TD></TR><!-- BEGIN "APPLICATION" CODE --><TR></TD></TR><!-- END "APPLICATION" CODE --><!-- BEGIN "NOTE" CODE --><TR><TD class=body vAlign=top width=94>Note:</TD><TD class=body vAlign=top width=240>10 x 2 1/4" brakes

what size am i looking for for the rear of a 1980 F-150 Custom 4x4 351M 4 spd gran low? I wouldve posted this on the brakes but it wouldve taken days, sorry for the long post and if you need the website i will get it for you, also the 1st is 24.99 and the 2nd is 14.99, if that makes a difference. Thanks again,
Taylor

Take off a wheel and measure the drum dia. That way you don't get the wrong shoes. If 2 are listed to me that means either could be on there. I hate to start a job and find I have the wrong parts and have to get in what ever runs to go back to exchange them.

1980/83 F150: D7TZ-2200-C .. Rear Brake Shoes 11 X 2 1/4"
===============================================
1980/83: F100's have 10" brakes / F150's have 11" brakes.

Ford advertised the 1980/83 F100's as a Light Truck.

Not only are the brakes smaller, but the wheels are 5 X 4.50, the only F Series truck to ever use that size. In addition, F100's have lighter front and rear springs and shocks.

Actually the truth is that the Ranger took over the F-100 slot. A full sized truck with automobile suspension was never a good idea. Customers did not pay any attention to the load / duty rating of the "light" trucks and tasked them like they would an F-150 because they "looked" the same. And yes the brakes and suspension for the F-100 series is as different from the F-150 as the F-150 is to the F-250, and so on.
