New Brake Shoes

[harleyjohn45]

I want to install new brake shoes on my 1956 Fairlane. When I go down a steep hill the brakes fade fast and the emergency brake does not hold well. I am looking at Raybestos organic shoes. Every one has them for the rear, but I can't find them for the front. I would also like to up grade to self adjusting brakes. I understand a kit is available, but all I can find is 62 Ford and up.
If anyone knows, your information would be appreciated.
