Ed,

Thanks,

Re: Brake drums

Hopefully Ed confirms (or you can check numbers at rockauto), but...

ACDELCO Part # 18B438 Front
ACDELCO Part # 18B382 Rear

Another Option some here have used:
NAPA Part # 440-1062 Front
NAPA Part # 440-1060 Rear

Re: Brake drums

Be careful as there are foreign made drums that have noticeable balance problems; several C1 owners have had such issues on that "other" forum.
I bought the AC-Delco "Professional" (now called "Gold") series drums for all 4 corners of my 63 and had zero issues, they are properly balanced and with correct heat dissipation characteristics. I can dig up the part numbers if those are not what was given above; they are available anywhere, even Walmart sells them online:
