rear drum brakes on 71 convert

I need everything. All springs, wheel cylinders, all shoes. Where's the best place to go? I recently saw the Paddock is done. What about original parts group? Even Summit has Bendix parts available. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks.

Your local Auto parts store should have them in stock - mostly the same with all GM through the '80's!
Why pay double + shipping??

No kidding.

NAPA (and they're usually NOT the cheapest):
Drums — $35
Cylinders — $7
Spring kit — $10
Shoes — $14 to 34

You can get most mechanical parts for these just like they're "normal cars" (because they pretty much are).
I bought a headlight switch recently at Advance for, I think, $12.

Think Auto Parts Store first, other sources only if none of them has it.

Yes, I should have mentioned that I was going to the auto parts stores on Monday after work. I was expecting to have trouble finding perhaps the spring kit though. Thats good news. Thanks.
