Thanks, I remember checking out your pictures of your '72, nice job.
Not sure on your brake shoes, I remember my back brakes were tighter than the front brakes and it took some tweaking,I arced the shoes,(ground down the top and bottom edges) to get them to go on. The fronts I had a brake shop clean up the the ridges a little which allowed them to slide on easier. Good luck
