    You're not kiddin, I took the fronts apart and every thing was original but in great shape. I put new shoes on it anyway and cleaned the drums and put everything back together. I got to the rear brakes today because I'm going to take the 3.55s out of the pinto(4.62s going back in pinto) and stab that in the comet. I will put new shoes on them, and one of the automatic adjusting cables came loose and was rubbing the drum. It almost wore in two. But I was surprised by the absence of leaking wheel cylinders, cracked boots, etc. Thanks for everyones support and welcoming comments.
