69 Suburban front drums
 
A buddy of mine just bought a 69 Suburban but the front drums are warped badly. Since the brakes have a 2 3/4" front shoes I assume they are a heavy duty brake option. Short of switching to disks is there a good resource for front drums. Thus far all of the parts stores in Canada have let us down. Fortunately, I am 3 miles from Michigan and I can mail order them if necessary.

Have you tried Rockauto.com?

I looked at Rock auto. Buddy of mine was not happy with the price of the drums. Most are priced around that level. I think my response needs to be either that or do not drive the truck.

Either option is expensive...
But converting to disc would most likely be the best money spent in the long run.
