"That is the info I already posted at the begging of the post."

Only partially Jim.

Sandbird showed the SIZING CHART with all 57 CAR foundation brake dimensions. It makes a much easier task of what the the OP's original question was (once we realized what the question was)

Sorry Paul, just had to get that zinger in there ... .

Paul, I think the reason the answers you got being all over the map is YOUR
OWN FAULT. 
The question you asked was anything but clear and so open-ended that a lot of
the people who tried to give you an answer had to assume from your question
something entirely different from what you wanted to know. Please remember this is the internet
and I do not even know what color your car is. Pete

That is the info I already posted at the beginning of the post..

There you go-

Problem solved.

Now that chart shows SPEC for a factory issued car. Most likely, aftermarket and even OEM service replacement shoes will vary. It all depends on manufacturer and time period.

If a set of shoes boxed, you would I.D. by manufacturer and part number (may have been superseded)..

Paul, I am sorry I was so cryptic. On the link I posted the brake shoes AC=Delco in the center have a link. Are these compatible
with my car?. You fill it out and see. Then call up NAPA and order them. Go look at them. AND that's your answer. Pete
