Condition of these rear brakes? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

This is a ground up restoration on a 71 C-10. I've never done a rear brake job, but I'll pull the rear brakes today.

Question is, from your observation, should I replace these parts? There is no visual damage, including the well of the brake drums. The rear brakes were replaced some time ago, but since then I'm guessing there's just 3-4K miles on this truck. Maybe I just answered my own question

, but still interested in opinions.

From my angle, just clean what I've got & maybe paint the drums.

Thank you
