I found a couple left side ones on ebay, but no rights. I need it Tomorrow. I have bought ones previously from a major Power-Wagon parts supplier that turned out to be made in China, and they lasted less than 6-months, so I am a little leary of what might be floating around on ebay. NAPA said the one I am getting was made in McHenry Illinois and it is less than $50.00.
I had to do a panic stop at 50mph. I drove another 25 miles home and when I stopped, one wheel was too hot to touch. Upon inspection, the one cylinder had corroded and the panic stop had locked the pistons and were not allowing the brake shoes to release. In the process, the linings got hot and are now about 80% delaminated. I have some used riveted ones and these will be going back on that wheel until I can get new. I may go back to where I had the originals relined years ago. They bonded them then, but being a big truck business, they should have to follow the current Illinois laws. Wheels, brakes, and drivelines are their business.
