Default Front drum brake backing plates

I have been searching for new front drum backing plates with NO results.
Does anyone know if they are available?
Anyone have a nice set with the 6 pads in great shape?

Thanks, Dave

Weld up the worn pads and sand them flat again with a small sanding disc.

Another option would be Franks Pontiac Parts. They have quite an inventory:

Thanks, I did reach out to them by email. Waiting to hear back. They do not have front backing plates listed for A body car
