Are you sticking with the original drum brakes? If so, all the little stuff is readily available from most auto parts stores, the drums themselves interchange with a few other models/yrs. (like Nova's).

Yeah........I just heard the old shoe rivet to metal sound the other day.
Stopped at ADVANCE AUTO and asked for 1967 G10 front brake shoes.
LIKE MAGIC.........IN STOCK........$24.99 + $5.00 core for very nice & thick riveted shoes.
Doing that chore this afternoon.
THIS IS WHAT I LOVE ABOUT CHEVY!
Did my 64 Econoline brakes couple months ago..........had to search......one high end auto parts place could order them.........took 3 days and cost $29.00 for bonded shoes for the front of the Ford.
