Identify rear axle and brakes?

I'm putting Brakes on a '66 Ford F100, and the Ford 9 inch rear axle assembly has been changed. Brake shoes are narrower than standard. Since the rear end is now a 2.75, then it has to be something that originally had an automatic. I need to figure out what kind of brakes to buy. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Measurement of shoe width and drum diameter should suffice.
