55 special rear shoes

[Guest 38buick55special]

Hi guys I am wondering if anyone knows a Wagner, raybestos or centric part number for the rear shoes on my 55 special. If not does anyone know the size/dimensions. I took the rear brakes apart today and found no shoes in th rear. The springs and adjuster were in a shoe box in the trunk.

The rear shoes are 12 x 1.75. Bob's Automobilia should have them, but they usually have a core charge

So without a set to return there is no way of getting a set without paying the core?? What about a set of shoes for another vehicle. 12 X 1 3/4 are also on fords and internationals.

Any reason these wouldn't work?

Probably will not work, since 55 Special is not listed in vehicle applications. I found some 55 Special rear shoes, suitable for core/rebuilding. PM me if interested.
