I believe they will also be the same as any 70's B or E body w/10" drums.
Last set I got came from Vatozone.

| Post subject: | Brake shoe question |
Since my Duster has an 8 1/4" axle and came stock with a 7 1/4", I'm having trouble finding the right brake shoes for the rear. I know the drums are 10", but Napa doesn't list any rear shoes for a 10" drum. They show a set of shoes for 10" front drums, but can those shoes also be used in a rear drum? I would've figured not, but I thought I'd at least ask... |

I don't know what year your Duster is, but it must be early 70s, because my brother's 73 came stock with a slant 6 and 8 1/4. My friends 70 came with a slant 6 and 7 1/4. So I would assume if you asked for brake shoes for a 73 up Duster, they should have them. |

Oh, just saw where it says it's a 74, that's a bit odd, why would a 73 have an 8 1/4 and a 74 have a 7 1/4? |

Try looking up rear brake shoes for a 73 or 74 Duster with disc front brakes. The rears should be 10 inch. These should be the shoes you need. You can do a visual match to be sure. |

it could have either, someone or mopar just 'added' the optional heavy duty rear to the checklist on the car (pretty common on 3spd floor shift slant six dusters). Just say you have a 1974 duster disc brake option with rear drums, they should show up as 10"... -D.Idiot |

Because the 7¼" was standard equipment clear on up through the end of the A-bodies in '76. The first year for the 8¼" was 1973, but it was not standard equipment.

The 10" front shoes cannot be used in the rear, no. Looks like the shoes you need are Raybestos 333PG. They're 10" x 2&189;", which is interesting — the earlier cars had 10" x 1¾" rear shoes (Raybestos 331PG). Also looks like at least online, NAPA have stopped selling real brake parts and are now selling "TrueStop".
