If you are not familiar with it yet, www.moparts.com is a pretty big and diverse online Mopar community that may provide some leads.

Good luck. And by the way....what class?

If you don't find any new ones, there is probably somebody that can re-line yours. Use to be fairly common and with all the restoration stuff going on I would bet you can find someone.
My bad I thought you were looking for shoes.

Are the front and rear drums the same?
Some people retrofit the rear drums by pressing out the hub and retrofitting drums from other applications.

Not that I am aware of supposedly 2 different drums but will examine more closely --- just may work

The best way to find what you are looking for is to buy the latest Hemmings Motor News and look under Chrysler Mopar Parts. I saw several ads for brake parts, you want to look for C Body parts. Good luck!
