Is there a different year front brake drum that be used to replace 1935 front drums? If so, what is involved?

Nope, 35 is one year only

Most folks eventually change them over to hydraulic brakes with 12-inch drums then use the rings on there so the wire wheels will work. Usable drums show up now and then but time is hard on that old stuff.

Your old ones can be relined too. Not cheap, but the end result is good
