Rear drum brakes 69 bird w HD axle
I want to replace my rear brakes (DRUM) shoes, wheel cyls cables, springs and hardware on one of my 3.90 rears I want the most accurate parts I can get . Seem to keep finding different color springs , different colors on metal areas of shoes , Inline says they have the most correct cable but so do others with different plating on some parts . Any help appreciated
Checked on some pics of cars restored only to find different colors of springs yet again.

Yeah I just figure if I’m gonna do it why not get it right.
And I’ve looked at restored cars as seen different colors. So if someone has the info or an original car w original brakes that would be helpful . Idk if you’re gonna do something why not try to get it right. . Belive this was the silver TA prototype tieman .did?

Scott any pictures would be great . Here’s inlines supposedly exact reproductions.
But if you look at their history on things like their RAIV firebird heat shields you soon see they aren’t even close to what’s correct. As well as other products discussed here made by them

And I believe these to be original 69 bird shoes and springs but can’t be sure very low milage (take out by the dealer ) rear diff removed early on but not a posi so not sure if they’d be the same .

For the record I never ever thought I’d be the guy who gave a crap about what was stamped on my brake shoes or what color the springs should be. Lmao
