Part number for '56 chevy rear brake shoes

[Model A Vette]

Does anyone have the industry part number for '56 Chevy rear shoes?

[AHotRod]

Why YES!

Wagner part number PAB-9
Rear brake shoe set.

Thanks for the number for Wagner. I thought the "industry" number was three digits, like "228" for the '58-'64 shoes.

My 60 Elky has shoes that are close to twice as wide as the sedan brakes. Do all stationwagons run wider brakes?



(Some little details have escaped the gray matter....)

Is the Wagner part #9 similar to the industry #55 shoes? They are 11 x 1 3/4.

#9 is the industry number, they are 11 X 1 3/4 The front shoes are #228, 11 X 2.

Thanks, Robert. For some reason I thought the shoes had a "higher" number.
