Anyone have a source for these? I had to cut mine off a car that sat for 30 years and the shoes were so bonded that nothing else worked to free the drum! I have tried several parts stores , but none of the ones they say fit actually do. The latest one I found seems close, but the outer rim on the inside is shorter than the outside rim ( if that makes any sense). Picture two concentric circles, on my original drum the outer rim is longer than the inner one but on the drum that they say fits it's just the opposite. I am really flummoxed here and not being a gear head, I don't k now where to turn. Anyone have any leads I can follow???

The A-body drums were the same from 64-72. The same parts were also used on 68-74 X-body cars (Nova and clones) and 67-69 F-body cars (Camaro/Firebird). They are available everywhere. They may not look exactly the same, but they will function correctly. FYI, your pictures didn't post.

RockAuto offers 5 different front drums for a '68 Cutlass. That's where I got my last set of front drums.
