Get the vin and call the dealer and have the parts guy run it and he'll tell you exactly what you have

Went thru the same thing... The 12x3" is the D70-HD brakes. Funny thing is; the drum will accept both 21/2 and 3" shoes. Run the wider shoe and get 1 ton wheel cylinders. The truck will brake much better. Watch it in turns on wet roads tho...
