Are brake shoes date stamped?

[Brando]

Just like the title says, would original factory installed brake shoes have a date stamp on them? If yes, where and how to decode?

thanks in advance!

if they are good there good and if bad replace them not a date thing.

i think he's asking if there is a way to tell if his shoes are the originals ....... but i agree, it's a non-issue

They were bad and I just replaced them.

Exactly. Just trying to see if these are the first brake shoes the car ever came with from the factory.

I have never seen a date code on brake shoes. Original finish, pentastar, and construction are the only way I know to identify period correct shoes.

The finish will be a sloppy quasmoline like the lower control arms. They will be stamped with a pentastar on the back somewhere. The pads will be glued to the shoe, not riveted. See attached picture.

Hope this helps.
