I moved your post to it's own thread. The thread you were in originally was about 68-72 Cutlass brakes, which are unrelated to yours. No one makes new rotors for the 67-70 full size cars. You CAN adapt the rotors from a 2003-06 Cadillac CTS with some minor machining. I've done this on my 67 Delta. See this thread for more info.
This is the text message the shop sent me in regards to what we needed.
“1 hub cracked when he tried to separate the rotor from the hub,We have 1 usable hub and need two rotors and 1hub. We need to find the 11 3/4” chevelle rotor and it will work. Working on that. Jon has been reading every chance possible on it. Have you found anything?”
Do you think what they are suggesting will work?
When the shop was separating the hub from the rotor he cracked the hub. So I only have one usable hub
So that shop either needs to find you a new hub or have one machined from scratch at their expense. It may be possible to weld and remachine the cracked one. That won't be cheap. Chevelle rotors are 10.75" and are not even close to working for this application. I had no problem pressing the studs out of mine at home. I can't imagine how much they had to beat on that hub to crack it. You may want to find a shop that has a clue.
I don’t mind doing some of the leg work. And if there’s a possibility of fixing the one hub. I guess I’ll have to do it. When you say it won’t be cheap, what do you think ball park price would be?
Thank you for all your help and advice. Tomorrow I will be speaking with them and hopefully get this problem fixed and the car back soon!
Thank you again!

The bearings / races interchange to anything else? Even something like '68-'82 Corvette? There was a flurry of late C3 stuff at one of the U Pull's a while back, but held off on buying anything, did not wish to be stuck with heavy un-sellable suspension parts. I may? still have the loose hubs pictured here, am not positive of origin, got them from a Guy who was trying to adapt them to a '65 Impala, he claimed they were corvette. Unsure. Does appear at one time they were "riveted" or "peened" to something, either a Rotor or a Drum. Also do not appear to be the common '64 - '74 A, F, and X body front Drum hubs.
