Default Re: Problems with new aftermarket 1940 ford brake shoes

There was a run of brake shoes not long ago that had the lower anchor pin hole punched in the wrong spot, causing the problem you described. Compare this hole from the new shoes to your oem shoes to see if that’s the issue.

The long shoe vs short shoe is not how Ford did them, but it’s not a problem in usage nor is it the problem here.
