Looking for a body chassis hubs for a 9 inch drum anybody know where I can find one or two having an issue trying to find out where I can even get these parts
 
Also be careful that any hubs you buy haven't had the studs just pressed out without the swedge being cut off first, because the stud holes will be enlarged and will not be able to press in new ones. Buyer beware. One sign will be studs tack welded to the hub to hold them in. This topic has been covered many times so do a search if you need more info.

Post a parts wanted ad as mentioned and asking for what you need. This thread isn't one.
 
As far as I know nobody made a replacement hub for those, just a hub and drum assembly from mother Mopar and they discontinued them decades ago. When looking for a used one take particular care in making sure the outer bearing race is tight in the hub. I've literally seen hundreds of those with spun races. '60-72 models will interchange, but, keep in mind that '60-9 had left hand threads on the driver's side, and '70-2 were all RH thread. If you get the lug nuts with them, not an issue. Just remember what you have when it comes to removing a wheel. Lots of tire shops don't know then made LH threads on some cars and will accidentally wring them off. Also, the '70-2 version were finned drums, whereas the '69 and earlier were smooth. Interchange them in pairs for even heat dissipation or the brakes may pull to one side when hot.
 
What is wrong with yours in other words can they be fixed? So far as stud holes if they are not too badly damaged, guys have tack welded studs in, etc. Once again, I see no reason to swedge studs, either front or rear.
