That's tough question without knowing more about condition of everything.

I'd plan on checking and probably replacing shoes and wheel seals. Wheel cylinders are "as needed" based on evidence of leakage. Springs and hardware and as needed also, if the shoe wear is even and nothing is loose most likely it's all reuseable. Also, check the drums from wear.

Drum brake parts are too expensive. Just do pads, wheel cylinders and a hardware kit.

I guess thats just how I think... I only want to take it apart once.
