I'm in the process of restoring the front suspension/brakes on my 68 GTX while the body is in the shop...so...according to my measurements the front and rear shoes are both 11 X 3. I can't seem to find them listed anywhere? Am I not looking in the right place? I'd like to find everything I need (wheel cylinders, hardware, etc.) from the same vendor...Suggestions? Thanks

The rear shoes were originally 11"x2.5" and the front and rears were both manual adjustable.
If you have the original wheel cylinders, you can have them rebuilt to keep it original or just go to an autoparts store to buy what you need.

Thanks A12, It seems like I have been all over the 'net today and have struck out so far...I did find some 3"ers listed for a cop car on Rock Auto but the way they have them listed concerns me, I searched 1968 Plymouth GTX and got this? "RAYBESTOS Part # 336RP RAYMOLD; 11.00 X 3.00 Front; Heavy Duty Brakes, Police Car; 11 x 3" Brakes [Wholesaler Closeout -- 30 Day Warranty] (Only 1 Remaining)"

Thanks A12, that's great info, appreciate the effort. I'll get some ordered this morning. 
No problem. I would search for a Federated Auto Parts dealer or at least they were the most helpful (probably just the local guys here were real car guys) That's where I found the riveted linings on Pentastar cores and the Raybestos shoes too. I'm sure with the part number anyone can get them from Raybestos.

LOL...no I'm not new here that's why I recoginized the name, was just verifying in case I it was someone different. I was actually able to find everything I needed on RockAuto, the only thing that temporarily stumped me was the way they had the shoes listed for a 68 GTX cop car...hmmm that would have been interesting, 2 door high speed pursuit vehicle.  A12 helped validate the part numbers so I got it all ordered.

You know now the "cop car" link is not off base as the A12's Dana with the big rear drum brakes are from police car application and I've heard the suspension on the road runner/super bee/GTX/R/T refered to as the police suspension and brakes

I was asking the person that put up the link to Jim's if he was new here ...
