brake shoe width for front and rear on a 63-F85 cutlass
What's the brake shoe width for front and rear on a 63-F85 cutlass. Trying to order and don't wanna screw up. Looks like Kanter is out of stock, so any recommendations on where to find them elsewhere would be greatly appreciated.

Same answer I gave you on FB:
9.5 x 2.0 front
9.5 x 1.75 rear
The fronts are pretty easy to find, since they are common with the rear brakes on the 1964-72 cars - Centric 111.02450 for bonded or Centric 112.02450 for riveted
The rears are Centric 111.01960, only available as bonded
I got mine from RockAuto. Order by part number, because their applications in the online listings are completely incorrect. Search those part numbers in Google and you'll find many vendors who claim to have them in stock.

RockAuto lists the correct Centric rear shoes for Buick Special/Skylark but not for Olds F85/Cutlass. Worse, RA ALSO lists incorrect 12" x 2" shoes for Special/Skylark, and 9.5" x 2.5" for F85. 
Once again, order by part number; assume the online listings are incorrect.
