Default Re: 65 GMC Front Hub Riveted to Brake Drum

Prowbar,
I haven’t checked into machining the drums, but I hesitate to do so for a couple of reasons. First, since the hubs are riveted to the front drums, I’m not sure they can be machined without removing the rivets. This what drove my original post. Second, when I was a kid I used to work in an auto parts store. They used to turn brake drums and also used a machine to re-arc new brake shoes to match the newly machined brake drums.
If I can’t manage to find new drums, I may have to explore machining the old ones.
