I've been starting to track down parts we'll need to rebuild various components on our '52 New Yorker. I've found rebuild kits for the wheel cylinders and master brake cylinder, but have not been able to find any source for the brake shoes. This is the first time playing with a Mopar product of this vintage so maybe I'm not familiar with all the different vendors. Can I buy new shoes for this this beast or do I need to find a place to re-line the existing shoes?

Thanks,
Dave

Also... If you cant find what you want... You might try to get them relined.... I use an outfit like this near me....

Thanks Bob. Looks like OldMoparts has them, as well as other stuff I didn't know I probably will need! Time to start making a list.
