This has become an issue with most 1955-59 Fords as finding drums and shoes for these has become a nightmare for many check out the link here: https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/...rake+shoe,1688

Notice that a lot of the cars in the list are pre-60's that did not use self adjusters
Hey, THANX for that info JeffB2COOL. I saw entries on your HAMB-BONE site suggesting using later brake assemblies and like the reference you gave to period correct dual reservoir master cylinders as to rebuilding a correct take-off as opposed to buying an off-shore look-a-like.

THANX again as I think I am about to speed on retro-fitting.

Now one has to worry about finding a correct/undamaged set of later shoes that can be re-lined.
