Short answer: A truck brake shoe assembly quotation should identify the model or buyer reference, shoe dimensions, lining requirement, exact kit contents, sample photos, quantity and packaging. Do not compare prices until each supplier has confirmed whether the request is for shoes only, a hardware kit or a mounted backing plate assembly.

Why brake shoe set and drum brake kit are not interchangeable terms
A brake shoe set normally describes the friction shoes. A drum brake kit may also include springs, pins, retainers, adjusters or a backing plate. Because naming varies by market, buyers should use a component list and photographs instead of relying on the product name alone. See the brake shoe assembly and backing plate comparison for a closer breakdown.
Photos that reduce matching errors
Send one uncropped photo of the complete assembly, a rear view, a side view showing lining width, a hardware close-up and any model or casting mark. The spring anchor pin press-fitting guide explains one production detail buyers may see in assembly photographs.
