Have you looked at NAPA, etc?? If they don't have them, I have no idea.

Re: 1958 rear brake drums
I found some info that might help

Nothing fancy here, just your standard-fare drum-brake setup with power assist. The front drums were large 12-inch- diameter units, and slightly smaller 11-inch diameter drums were fitted in the rear. The total effective braking area was 178 square inches, so they work quite well at slowing down the heavy 3,700-ish-pound car fairly quickly. "For drag racing, they are very poor," Pederson said. "After two or three hard stops they fade quickly because they are too small for the car's weight, but for regular road use they are fine."
And they might have your parts
