'69 brake shoes

I've probably missed it, but haven't found any info referencing available brake shoes (in the U.S.) for a '69. Does anyone know there are NAPA (or equiv) part numbers for them? Or is it best to have the current ones relined? If so, what is the proper thickness?

Haven't taken them apart yet, so I have no idea what nightmare is lurking under the covers, or in this case, drums.

There are not any compatible brake shoes. Unless some happen to show up on eBay, you'll need to have yours relined.

Thickness of the lining material for the brake shoes is 0.268" (6.8mm) Width is 2.17" (55mm) and Length is 11.9" (302mm). This is from the 1965 Service Manual.

However, the 1978 Service Manual has the thickness at 0.299" (7.6mm). This is a first for me, since in both cases the drum diameter is the same.

Some show up on ebay from Australia from time to time.
