v8 cars - even americans - always got 10" drums if they didn't have
disks.  i think rockauto is talking through their hat, if you'll
pardon my french...

you might get a front drum setup cheap or free from an amxer
swapping to disks.

you might also want the 10" rear drums from a spirit amx or concord
wagon, or a few other late '70s - early '80s sixes.
