Replacements are just the drum. The hub is removed by pressing out the 
wheel studs from the old drum assembly. Kennedy American's catalog (I know, 
hardly authoritative) lists two 9" six cylinder front drums:58-72 and 73-76 
(I'm going to guess 76 was the last year for front drums). I know that the 
10" front drums on my former Rebel were also two piece and I would assume 
that they were also two piece for all years they were offered. I've always 
been under the impression that one piece front drums were the exception on 
US cars.
