Front Drum Brakes

I have a 1969 W31 I was going to convert to disc front brakes but have changed my mind. Some time ago I discarded all the front brake parts except one drum with hub attached and second hub without drum for a roller. Now I am trying to track down some original type brakes, maybe from someone that did a disc conversion. Also can are there other cars that would be the same. Trying to stay correct as I can.
Thank you

The front spindles interchange on 1964-72 A-body, 68-74 X-body, and 67-69 F-body cars. They all use 9.5" x 2.5" front drum brakes. There are some optical differences in the drums depending on the application. For a real W31 car you probably want them to be correct.

I have a significant pile of front Drum spindles, backing plates, hubs & hardware. All take-offs years ago, from conversions to Discs and or removed from parts cars. Southern New Mexico condition and location. Dry desert parts. No pits, no scale, just surface flash rust on just about all of these parts. Not going to be around forever, will be scrapped likely sooner than later.
