What would be a cross reference part number for the brake shoes on my '46 pick-up?

    Your truck should have the 1 3/4 x 11 brakes front and rear, which are the same as stepdown rear.

    Rockauto lists several under 54 Hornet

    NAPA RS55

    You might have to loosen the anchor pin and re-adjust per Walt Mordenti's instructions to make them fit better.

    There are a couple of people in the back of the WTN who re-sole the shoes also

    Now if I can find Walt's Tech Vol 2 page 15 to do the work.

    Just an update, ordered the shoes from Rock Auto and they just arrived.  The configuration is correct so no modification needed to lower the anchor pin.

     Now I just need to make the time to go and replace them.

    Thanks for your help here.
