Re: New Brake Shoes
I'm running an old set of asbestos composite brake linings on my '55. Wouldn't trade them for nothing and they don't seem to wear down much. had them on since the early '80's.
As far as rear brakes, pull the drums and check the thickness of lining against shop manual recommendations and replace if your are worn too thin. Also sounds like your parking brake front cable has way too much slack. The shop manual has a procedure for proper adjustment of the parking brake cable.
