My local Autozone & O'Riely's tell me they don't have a source for RIVETED rear 10"x1.75" brake shoes! Does anyone make these now? Thx ahead
 
Check the manufacturers websites (Eis, Wagner, Raybestos, & others) to see if they offer riveted shoes. Get the part numbers from them & have your parts store order them for you.

Not sure I understand why you want them. In a previous life, I've sold thousands of shoes and turned zillions of drums and rotors. "Back in the day" I can understand, as bonding was not as advanced as now.
 
I used to have mine relined at a company in Wilmington, CA called Friction Materials. He mostly relined Semi truck brake shoes and clutch disks. If you have cores you could probably find a place to reline them near you.

I was looking for riveted because the self-proclaimed expert down the street said it’s the only way to go. I agree with you. Today’s technology is much advanced. ThxU
 
Normally I'd agree with other posters who preferred the bonded shoes given the improvement in adhesive technology over the last couple decades. But recently I purchased new disk pads for my '90 D350 truck from Autozone and one of the pads separated. By the time I got home the new rotor was also ruined. This had never happened to me in my lifetime. So while there are many new and improved adhesives out there I'm not sure the Chinese suppliers are using them. One advantage of the bonded linings is they wear longer and the rivet heads don't cut into the drum's friction surface if you forget to check them with the appropriate frequency.

That was the intention of my comment re: turning drums and rotors. Of the many many drums and rotors I've turned, I've seen MANY with rivet damage, and have been aware of very few times that shoes/ lining separated.

On a side note, at two different parts stores, I've riveted / relined big truck/ trailer shoes, with a "foot operated" riveter, now THAT is no fun!!!
