One of  the reasons why I can go down the road to an auto 
parts store and find  Corvair parts in stock is because the 
same parts fit other, more popular  vehicles. Popularity = 
profits to stores like Car Quest or Advanced Auto  or NAPA. 
LM Corvair brake shoes interchange with my son's '67 small  
block powered Malibu - only reversed end for end. As for 
reading  instructions (or manuals) you could say that I am 
challenged in that  area... - Caveman Pete




The only exception to Pete's and others notes is that the front drums from  
the "A" bodies might or might not need a small modification to work on the back 
 of the Corvair. The emergency brake linkage needed a couple of holes for  
mounting the Corvair links, not needed on the front of the Malibu! Just compare  
the shoes to the Corvair parts and "Make it so!"  Some already have the  
required layout.
