    Blue Wagon,
    I might have some N.O.S. Very U.S.A. made -- I will check this weekend, and let you know....
    I do have a couple last sets of N.O.S. +++ Asbestos +++
    Front & Rear 9 1/2" x 2 1/2" Brake Shoes -- such that you don't RIP UP the brake drums !!!!
    The Sport wagon utilized 2 1/2" wide shoes Front & Rear.
    The Brake Drums are different, however...
    I will keep you informed.... Yours, Craig.....

    I have 1 used wagon rear drum. If my memory is correct the front drums are the same as Skylarks. I might be wrong.

    Switching to front disc brakes would solve the front issue quickly.

    thanks for all the info guys. but i thank i have it all figured out. found some fronts at napa, not sure what the original application was but it turns out on my wagon the fronts and rears are the same on the drums. and fyi i had to use 67 skylark wheel cylinders on the rear, they were exact fit, go figure. Thanks again

    Hey BlueWagon,
    Don't play your radio too loudly.. you will have to listen for an excruciating crunch noise or a wheel falling off ---
    Using $ 6.99 INCORRECT Chineseum drums...

    Don't kid yourself, your 2016 Silverado probably has chinese brakes on it.
