Almost any local parts store will carry these parts. No need for aftermarket mail order.

I rebuilt my rear drums on my 72 GMC C1500 from parts from the local parts house. New brake cylinders, hardware kit, shoes and drums.

I have purchased some at O'Rileys and NAPA they are very cheap and if you give the wheel cylinders a good cleaning and re hone them it takes no time at all. I suggest replacing the rubber brake lines since you are already there.

They don't come in a complete kit. You buy the shoes. The attaching parts come in a kit often called a Combi-Kit. It services both wheels with springs & holdown parts. Then there is self adjusting kits which are specific o each wheel. Like Sic-1 says you usually can o-haul the wheel cyls. without removing them. If they are pitted or rusted pretty bad you should put on new ones. They are sold per wheel.

x2 on replacing old rubber lines. And be sure to have the drums checked for size and turned if necessary. Drums can & do wear unevenly.
