its the rear drums i cant find
what is this thing you call sleeving the drums
unless your drums are chewed almost thru, they are usable, they can be dressed lightly if desired,
I redid the brakes on my KB-1 panel last year and checked drums to make sure they were not worn beyond legal, I just dressed them with sandpaper to clean up surface rust from sitting,
brake shop guys love to turn them to "beautiful finish" taking 1000s of usable miles of braking off them, that's OK if new drums are available, these are not,
find a small shop guy willing to spin the minimum off them to clean them up if at all, brake shoes will wear to match the drum, and are a lot cheaper to replace than a drum,
To answer your question sleeving is when a drum is turned to a spec then a new metal ring like a giant bushing is pressed in then turned to true it,
not a very common practice, may be hard to find someone to do it, I've also seen where a replacement drum is impossible to find they spray weld the inside surface to build up the metal then turn to true up, both of these options are expensive and challenging finding someone to do it,
Do a craigslist search for someone parting a 1950-1956 L, R or S 130 and get some used drums if yours are gone beyond using, lots of guys hot roding these and selling running gear for scrap prices,
or replace the rear end, options,
