I am sure that Ford never arced shoes at the factory. They're manufactured to fit the new drum when they get to the assembly line. The problems is that the manufacturer of relined brake shoes today doesn't know what drum size they are going to be used on. I have been told that they are usually manufactured to fit a .030 oversize drum and that is what is causing the problem. I would never cut the drums to match the shoes, you might as well saved money and bought used drums to start with.
