Best thing to do is to remove one front and one rear drum, as if to inspect things and not disassemble anything, to physically measure the width of the brake shoes. Then, on the outside edge of the drum, there should be a cast-into spec of "Masimum diameter of __.____". That will give you the diameter you need (i.e., 11") and then the measureed width of the shoes. THEN order things up as desired.

Just some obervations,

Measure the inside diameter of the drum (reduce to nearest whole number, i.e. 11.1 to 11 ) and measure the width of the old shoes.
So 11" drum and 2" wide shoes would be 11x2 shoes.
 
The standard drum size on a '67 Fury was 11 x 2 3/4 front and 11 x 2 rears. I have rear drums and front and rear shoes available if you need them. They are new old replacement stock, not the cheap parts store junk available today.
