Help me find the correct brake drums for 66 c20!

I'm trying to redo the rear brakes and I can't figure this out for the life of me. I've found the correct wheel cylinders, brake shoes, and all the hardware (springs, self-adjusters, etc.) but I can't find the drums anywhere. If anyone knows where I can find these, please let me know.

Thanks.

Here are a couple pics I stole from the interwebs. My best educated guess is this is an Eaton axle with GM 14 bolt hubs and full floating axles. This looks exactly like the axle i have on my truck.

So did you get the HO52 drums or are you going to swap to 14 bolt drums?

I got the 14 bolt drums.

Now I just need to get the old wheel cylinders off. They are completely rusted solid to the brake line. I figure I'll just cut it off and then re-flare the brake line.

If the 14 bolt Drums don't work for you. I have a 65 c20 Ho52 rear end I am getting rid of. I live in Utah as well.

Cool. Do you know what gear ratio your axle has? I am interested, but money is really tight right now. how much are you willing to let it go for?

Thanks.

I believe its the 4.56. The axle tube is no good. I cut the perches off to use on my 14 bolf ff. The axle is going to scrap some time soon. If you need any thing you can just come trade me your old parts for my parts no charge.
