I think on these particular drums you may be able to true the friction surface on the lathe but I suspect they may come up short as far as balance is concerned.

I have found a front drum on a '72 Nova (replacement) where the entire brake surface had been machined off-center in the drum, non-concentric with the stud hole circle, making it heavy on one side. DD
