Inline Tube part number DBK64R1. $395. That appears to be complete with everything for the front brakes.
Drums only appears to be out of stock. Would think someone on here would have a good used set.

My bad. It isn’t explained on the face but it is in the detail.

Reviving this thread...

Most people are converting to discs.
Those of us interested in originality are going to have to work a bit harder.

Anyone here familiar with the correct original drums in front?

Wonder how they 'differ in appearance' from these shown at Ames?

Cars (Old Buick Parts) have them in their catalogue PN BD64F $57.50 each, that doesn't mean they have them in stock
I haven't used them, I went for a disk conversion from Right Stuff Detail.
