1970 custom camper rear brake drums?!?

Ok so I bought my 1970 gmc custom camper 1 ton truck. Just needed rear drums right? Since then I'm still on the hunt! And I don't have a drum to go off of. It's at a relatives house but I think the backing plate measured 14". Rockauto sells a 14" rear drum. But I checked back to look at brakes for my 3500 and it shows 13" 14"or 15" shoes. So now I'm second guessing myself on the drum size anyone have any imput?!?

So the truck was bought with no rear drums, Find out what rear you have first and go from there.
