Paid a visit to my favorite salvage yard and copied this down from the Hollander Interchange Manual. This book is dated 1993, so there may be other cars which have them in later years.

just fo r your info.. i contacted the dealership here in canada. the pqart number has changed but the drum are still available...theres supposed to be a hole **** load of them in a stprages area. price...250 each.......ouch!!!!
I was looking for a set recently too. Went to a BIG u pick it yard and looked at every F bdy and G bode. The B Bodies (impalas/Caprices) had bigger drums.. NONE of the F cars had em.. of ALL the G bodies (prolly 20) only ONE had alum drums. A 78 Monte Carlo. Of course they were frozen on. I had to get a JCW drum puller which worked like a charm and scored em for $20 a pair
I also grabbed a few sets of frame tie bars underneith and a set of underhood rad support to fender braces for $18 for all 4

GM changed their part number for the aluminum drums to the same number as the steel ones. I know this because I ordered a pair of aluminum ones and the steel ones arrived. The guy at the parts desk said GM does this if another similar part can be used as a replacement. Of course I didn't take the steel ones. At that price GM will sit on their inventory of steel drums forever!
Kevin,
Check out Pull-A-Part in the city. I just check all of the 78-88 G-bodies. I found a pair a few months ago, one was off a Grand Prix the other was off a Monte Carlo. If you have trouble finding some let me know I'll sell you the ones I found for what they cost me. They don't have a lot of meat left on them, but they'll work.

I don't really understand the interest in aluminum brake drums if stopping power is what you are after, unless you are restoring a GN/TR to original specs.
Have you considered disc brakes for the rear? I have and bought a set from a 3rd gen F body that I am going to install in a couple of weeks......Seems the way to go if you are after stopping power, am I wrong?
thanks guys

That's really not that bad when you think about it...if you get them. By the time you go to the yard and dig around and maybe find a set or two, then pay someone to turn them and if you want them blasted. You've probably got $60 in them not counting your time...
