small bolt 10" drums are small bolt 10" drums
doesn't matter what they came off of,
so 70 duster drums should work just fine
the big bolt 10" drums are wider,

New ones show up on eBay once and a while. I have hooked up members with several sets off eBay in the last six months.

Get ahold of whitepunkonnitro (user here on FABO). He may still have some used ones left. Finding nice used is pretty much your best bet at this point, or wait to see if some new ones turn up on ebay again. I got the last ones I saw pop up on ebay that Oklacarcollecto pointed me to and paid through the ear for them (but they were made in Canada, so at least not Chinese).
The only reason I wanted to keep SBP on my GTS is because I'm trying to keep it as close to original as possible (the drums won't be of course), but honestly, any other car, I would just upgrade to LBP axles & brakes and be done with it. SO much less hassle in the long run for brakes and wheels. Then I'd go to 15" wheels for same reason. Even 14" tires (that look okay on a muscle car) are getting hard to come by anymore.

Cool, there are more on ebay now. Weird, those say new, but then at the bottom, they say used. I think they're new. That's in the vicinity of what I paid for my pair, and I think they're the same ones.
Funny dude too, and knows Mopar brakes through and through!!

5 x 4" bolt pattern 10" drums interchange between 8.75" and 7.25" rears, but backing plates do not.

the 8 3/4 drums look different, they have a flair on the back
but the 7 1/4 drums fit and work just fine,

I've found the bell/flare drums on both 8-3/4's and 7-1/4's
No more than 5 years ago when I bought them, A guy over on SlantSix.org said he had them at Carlisle this summer. Can't remember the price. $90 bucks maybe.
I have found 9'' bell drums on 7 1/4'' rears that I thought were 10'' because of seeing the bell. I assumed they were 10''........Wrong !

Drums are the same.
All 69 back drums didn't have bells. 1970 through 1972 had bells. There could have been some carry over. Engine didn't matter as a /6 could be ordered with 10" brakes.
$150.00 for a pair isn't a bad price for something that is no longer available and wasn't made in China.

All rears use 10" x 1.75 on the small bolt pattern with the 8.75 also. Fronts use 10" x 2.25. That is why you have to get different backing plates when you upgrade to bbp.

Lol, we all make them.... My first mistake today was crawling out of bed... should have just pulled the covers back over my head and slept in.
