1940 Ford Brakes

[ursus]

Just started in on a brake job and noticed that the front brakes shoes were mounted by the previous owner with the short shoe on the front and long shoes at the rear. My understanding is that the Ford installed Lockheed brakes should have the long shoes toward the front and the corresponding larger brake cylinder mounted toward the front as well, and this applies to both front and rear brakes. Am I correct on this?
