Had similar problems. Purchased new drums from Oreillys and found the really deep drums would fit the rear only. Then went to Autozone, and they had the correct ones for the front.

Tip of the Day: When working on old cars, take the old part with you to the parts house to match needed parts. Many of the computer programs they use do not have accurate info on these old vehicles.
