Where does the short brake shoe go in rear drum on a Ford F150 1977 assembly?

On a 1977 Ford F150's rear drum brakes, the short brake shoe goes on the top. This is relative to the orientation of the vehicle when it's sitting level. The longer shoe goes on the bottom. Think of it as the short shoe being closer to the top of the wheel cylinder.

However, always double-check your specific parts and your repair manual before installation. The orientation can sometimes be subtly different based on minor variations within the year of manufacture or specific axle configuration. A parts diagram from a reputable supplier or a factory service manual for your truck will provide the definitive answer.
