<VV> BRAKE QUESTION

[N2VZD at aol.com]

I plan on a complete rebuild of the brake system on my rampside this winter 
 along with tons of other work. I have a set of metallic shoes for one axle 
,  from my early corvette days. Thoughts were to put them on the rear , 
because the  rear shoes tend to got heat stress cracks. Stops great , but I do 
quite a bit of  thruway type driving and also carry some loads with it.
Any thoughts on this idea? Last time i did all the work on it was in the  
EARLY eighties , so I want it perfect again. I had to replace rear shoes once 
,  and one shoe unbonded last year. There is no dragging , stops even , but 
rear  shoes seem to look like road maps. Any old chevy stuff have finned 
drums that  might fit?
