1971 chevy g20 hard to find parts!
 
hello I have a 1971 3/4ton G20 with front brake drums still installed and I am having a hell of a time finding drums for the front(yes I know I should just do a disk conversion but that is not in the cards the moment) every website I have found on line that has them listed are out of stock the moment i go to order them. the drums that are still on it are too far gone to be machined and are tapered on the inside from wear. Does anyone have any leads or know if drums from say the trucks would fit? I have also been on the hunt for a power steering gear box and have not had any luck with that ether. They seem to sell every part imaginable for the 70s trucks but not the vans.

Try RockAuto I think they have them.

Classic Industries sells restoration parts for full size Chevy trucks. Might be able to find them there.

Chevy made so many of these for so long I can't believe it's not a super simple swap to just put later discs on it.
