Amazon.com: Centric Parts 122.66037 Brake Drum: Automotive
Matt: The front drums are easy. They are the same as a Chivy and should be easily found and are relatively cheap. They have a 3" height or depth. Here's Rockauto.com's listing.
RAYBESTOS Part # 2005R $33.79
The rear drums are a bit harder, but I have three part numbers you can try for rear 6 lug brake drums. These have a 3.5" height or depth. The first is CENTRIc Part # 12266037 . The second is Allsafe 2067 DGS or Raybestos 2067R.
Rockauto.com shows the Raybestos 2067R for $58.79. Rockauto.com also has the Centric Part #12266037's for $119.79.
I used the Allsafe 2067 DGS from Autozone. The 2067's are for a later model (i think 67-72) truck with 4 wheel drive. It has fins on the outside unlike the original that is smooth. The only modification that I had to make was to drill the 6 lug holes from 1/2" to 9/16" so that the drum would fit on the shoulders on the rear lugs like the original. This drum had the right offset unlike the Chivy drums.
On the Centric, I haven't used that one, but was told it was a direct match to the original (a bit pricier though).
I hope this helps with those looking for rear 6 lug drums.

Thanks Steve. Appreciate the info however I've pretty much been through all those numbers.
Your first link is for a 12" drum and I need an 11". Your second link shows the supplier that only has 1 Centric in stock and can't get a second one. Rock Auto does not have Centric 12266037's in stock. If you put it in a cart, it will state that. Except for Auto Parts Network's one drum, no one has any in stock. The Centric warehouse is out and they will not give any dates for having any.
I've been told the Raybestos 2067 will not fit. It has a large cooling fin that is taken in account in the width measurement and the fin overhangs the friction surface since it's not machined out to the end. So the friction surface is too short and will not cover the entire brake shoe.
So, is the Allsafe 2067 DGS you have different than the Raybestos 2067? Are you sure the brake shoe is completely covered by the friction surface?
