I'm glad you resurrected this thread. Ours had the line pinched off to the RR when we bought it and the left brake line blew this week. I bought the 1 ton Dodge cylinders and replaced the brake lines. I wanted to change the shoes, drums, hardware, and wheel seals, but already spent $ on unplanned projects. The RR had the star retainers on 2 studs, so with @ 150,000 miles are still the original brakes. Anyhow, they work awesome. I can't wait to replace the shoes and drums. I think the GM cylinders would apply too much rear brake.
I hope you get your brakes working correctly. I'm not familiar with Napa anymore. I like Wagner brakes, the thermoquiets. I get them from Rock Auto. Were your out of round drums Napa? or a different brand?

Thick rotors heavy drums full float axle. I guess weight shaving is fuel saving though…
Parts aren't what they used to be anymore no matter where you get them from.

All parts were advance auto/car quest wearever. Trying Napa ahoes because they are the only local store to offer a "premium" shoe. Getting tired of this 1/2 ton stuff. Used to my 94 f250 which had some beef to all the parts.

Quite aware of this asked him about the diff part# and he assured me that it was correct since the catalog said so hahaha. " different companies, different numbers" was his response
