Too many choices to be able to tell you. You *might* be able to get a build sheet from here, and it should tell you what size the rear brakes are.

Either 9x2.5 or 10x2.5. Measure your drum.

I've never ordered brakes by taking off wheels. You plug your vehicle info into any parts store website or Amazon, etc. and it gives you the results.

Hows that work when almost every truck has 2 options? Oh ya it doesn't. And on a 20 year okd vehicle just because it came with 9" drums doesn't mean someone hasn't swapped the hardware put for 10" drums.

Gpod luck ordering brakes for my truck just based off of what Amazon tells you.
