'56 S120 Brake Drums

Does anyone know where you can find brake drums for a '56 S120 4X4? Front Axle is FA15 and rear Axle is RA10. Thanks

Front Drums are stamped BUDD 72458 and Rear Drums KH 666 1. Also there is no max diameter stamped on the outside that I can find. Does anyone have the max diameter specs for these drums?

It's almost impossible to find these drums. I do have a few but not for sale. Here is an alternative, very expensive, I have talked to these guys, they know what there doing. Shipping would be a killer too.

I agree with Kevin, rather expensive, but, you have to be the judge. I have talked with the owner a couple years ago, he said he could do up to, I think, a 13" drum. Best to call them and please tell them you heard about them from the OldIhc forum.

Also looking for the max diameter that these drums can be turned to? I've not been able to find any spec in my shop manual. Also - I have a brand new shop manual still in the wrapper that I would be willing to trade for an owners manual for my '56 S120 4X4.

THIS IS FOR INFORMATION ONLY. NOT FOR SALE AT THIS TIME!
I was working in the garage the other day and forgot I picked these drums up at a swap meet.
I believe these drums would work on the front of a S-120-4X4.
I think they could be made to work on the front only, the original drums are 2-3/16" and the ford drums are 2-1/2" on the shoe surface.
A machined piece of aluminum or equivalent would have to be made so the drum would not hit the backing plate. Would not no until fitted to the hub.
I assume they are hard to find.
Hope I made this clear.
EDIT: The number on the piece of tape says 2669.

Follow up,
After checking further on these drums, I see the small stamping is "Century- C 2630".
Also there is a quite a few hits on the original post.
