93 2500LD brake shoes

[Z71Sierra]

I need to do the rear brakes on my 93 Silverado. Do I need to buy shoes for a 2500 or a 1500?

You need to buy shoes for a truck with 14-bolt Semi - float. 2500 would probably be wrong

If it's not your only transportation take your out and compare at the parts store... then remember which it was next time...

Not that simple, most 1500's had 10-bolts which take smaller brakes, any parts store worth a damn should ask you if you have the larger brakes or not.

Go to rock auto, Type in 91 k2500, go to brake shoes and buy the 6 lug shoes

You ignore anybody that hasn't owned or worked on one, then buy the shoes for a 2500 but only for a 2500 shown w/7200 lb GVWR. That's the "light duty" 2500. If you get them for a 2500 w/8600 lb GVWR that's a real 2500 - 8 lug - and the shoes will be wrong. Most 1500 choices will be wrong too.

Or look at your SPID label in the glovebox and observe the RPO code JB6 which means you have 11" x 2.75" rear drums, which will help you get the right shoes.
