Randy, the heat disapating part is not a concern for me, If I can't find drums that arent' finned hat fit I'll just have some machined, I just thought I'd save some work, its nto gonna be towing anythingitsjust a swb step

Grind them down...
Not like back brakes do much...otherwise, they wouldn't last 100,000 miles.

i was never able to find any drums like what you are talking about, they were never the right width. I needed them w/ out the fins to fit inside my rims. i ended up having to have them machined and that wasnt cheap.
