Joe,
I agree with Dave. I got very lucky when I found a set of NOS shoes for
my ‘62 727 TorqueFlite for $5, which are the same as my old PowerFlite. All of
the internal parts are the same. I vote for re-lining, which will probably be
the cheapest way to go. Check with your local full service brake parts supply
house. They can re-line anything.
I use my local Brake
Warehouse (612-378-3141). I just called them. Their computer says they have a re-lined
set in inventory for $25 exchange, but the core charge is an additional $100.

I must
admit I know of no vendor that are reproducing the parking brake shoe's. You
might have to have your old ones re- lined , or find a set of nos ones. Last
year I rebuilt the brakes on my Imperial & it was the only part I could not
get. Powerflite & Torqueflite ones will interchange.
Regards
Dave.

2" x 7" sounds about right. The only thing I have
for comparison is the set for my 1957 Chrysler. If needed, I could go out
to the garage and measure them for you.
