Go with the 55 CJ5. If you are ordering brakeshoes you had best look at yours first. It was possible to have the shoes with the round mounting holes on the bottom, or else the later style (correct for the A1s) where the bottoms were on more of a fixed anchor. Compare what you have with the pictures on rock auto's listings.
Good news about the treasure delivery. That will be one more piece of the puzzle.

I just did all the brakes on my 1970CDN3. Complete new front to back. The only other mod which I highly recommend is the use of silicone brake fluid. Since my entire sytem is new, I just flushed the lines with alcohol to ensure they were clean and used racing type fluid. It has a high operating temp and the main advantage is that silicone does not attract water and does inhibit rust, something to consider especially for a vehicle that sits for extended periods of time.

For flushing.....
Ethyl....rubbing alcool is superior for mixing with and removing water from brakelines......Methyl will not work as well..... of course Ethyl is about 4 times more expensive.... and the drugstore version has chemicals added that will make you sick as a dog.......
Or you can always use Quebec Alcool at 94% ... in which case you will want to suck the lines clean instead of blowing them with a compressor and I promise you will get a "Kick" out of the experience..... what a hobby ....? Bob
