Do you mean brake PADS or shoes,most 70's a body gm cars had disc front brakes,if you are looking for pads you should be able to find a ceramic pads for that no problem try NAPA.

Hi Mark,

Are you using their Brake-in-Box set-up? What kind of change/improvement in braking have you noticed with these brake shoes? Is it close to what they claim? Are you using front only, or both F/R. Thanks in advance.

Like Lynn, have the aluminum front drums.

Les I bought their complete set for both front and rear. I got the shoes, a complete set of new brake springs and new wheel cylinders. The wheel cylinders are internally larger so the produce more stopping and holding force. There is no alterations in doing the installation. It is truly a bolt on project. I couldn't be more pleased with how it turned out. I've had it on my car for three years with no regrets.
