Look up the 9" drums for younger cars (64,65,66...) until you find them. Don't go past 72,73 or the bolt pattern isn't correct. (check the 'info')

Sometimes the lookup isn't complete for various models, so lookup other a-bodies, and different engines to find your parts.

If you go far enough, you'll find finned drums.

How about wheel cylinders? Rock auto (and nobody else so far) carries them for my '62 Savoy (9" manual drums fore and aft). Anything cross? I'm upgrading eventually......but I need functional brakes kinda now :?

I want to point out a 62 savoy has 10 or 11 inch brakes not 9 inch I am not sure about 62 but I know 61 had total contact brakes with 2 wheel cylinders on each wheel

separate The original factory front drums were an assy if your drums are factory originals you will have to cut or grind off the swaging around the studs to replace the drum if you try to press out the studs without doing this you will ruin the hubs the stud holes will be oversize. I know this because I had a machine shop do this to my original hubs
