Correct drum for 9" drum brakes

There's no way IN THE WORLD I would ever reswedge a drum. There's absolutely zero need. The one and only reason the factories did this was to keep the drums from falling off going down the assembly line. The drums on A bodies are 100% hub centric. They don't need to be swedged.

If that was the only reason, they would have just used one of those washer clips like they used later on rear brakes. After all, Mopar didn't sell just the front drum as a replacement. Only a hub and drum assembly. No assembly line problem with that.
