If you are not familiar with it yet, www.moparts.com is a pretty big and diverse online Mopar community that may provide some leads.

Good luck. And by the way....what class?

If you don't find any new ones, there is probably somebody that can re-line yours. Use to be fairly common and with all the restoration stuff going on I would bet you can find someone.
My bad I thought you were looking for shoes.

Are the front and rear drums the same?
Some people retrofit the rear drums by pressing out the hub and retrofitting drums from other applications.
