Three. Where do I buy the Randy Gross Brake Drums?

That's easy - you'll also want to get his brake shoes or even his complete rebuilt backing plates.

It would be nice if we could see the edge more from the outside but they appear to be cast iron drums. Do they have a lip?

How would I "show the edge more"?

Take a picture of the drum edge from stud side.

I could be wrong, but from these pictures, the drum looks like a later model early V8 car. Let’s see more pictures and include some of the other front drum for comparison.

I think those are aftermarket reinforcing bands on a steel drum.

Now that I look at it again I think you are correct.

It is impossible to tell from the previous post by Johnr9q whether the drums are excessively worn. If they are not then they might be able to be used. The reinforcing bands will provide addition heat sinking that will reduce the chance of fade. However, cast iron drums are always the better choice because of the better coefficient of friction and wear characteristics.
