Well, I just wanted to thanx everyone for advice and support. It's been up and running for a while now.
So if it's any advice to anyone and I know I didn't do it the official correct way, but cheaper. So my drums were completely destroyed, springs, linings, the drum was broken in several places, the only thing that was salvageable was the 4 balls. Bands were in good condition and worked. Outer friction plate was badly scored from broken metal. (I know your all going to cringe here) I used a disk grinder, kept moving and took the scoring out, then 40, 80, 120 to 220 orbital sander and got it smooth. Had to buy 2 shim packs and Had a 1/8" plate cut to a shim, had to grind the three blot heads down a little also. I had to make up .185".... ya I know.
So I did not pull lift arm bracket, took the two bolts off on low side of bands, top pin out, removed, a good shop vac session. Got lucky and brake rod was free and adjustable with some PB blaster.
Bought both brake drums, springs, used the old balls, and put together, bought the two return springs for the bands and installed everything.
I know this was not the correct way but was quicker and cheaper. Thanx again to all
