Bonded brake shoes, '47 ford

[larry/Texas]

I have bonded brake shoes that are in good condition with lots of shoe left. They were purchased in 1962 car was put up from '65 to '71 when it was driven 700 miles and has not been driven since. My question is, are they safe to use again when car is back on the road? They look good but are they safe. They were purchased from NAPA. The master and wheel cylinders will be replaced.

Your thoughts would be appreciated. Thank you.

I drove mine on brake shoes that had been on the car for 31 years since I last drove it. They stopped the car fine. No problems.
