Andre,
 
Those were called Center Plane brakes and they were a nightmare to work on and keep adjusted. The rears were a nasty b**ch to beat those drums off.
 
When everything was working as designed they worked OK but they weren't Chrysler's high point in engineering.

Man, I feel bad.
You guys are talking about cars that I drove as a kid, as "old" cars.
I can remember when there weren't that old.

I can't remember my '65 exactly, but it's usually a round silver metal cylinder with a single 2-prong (without trailer) plug hanging around under the dash.

Best I can say is get it running and see what you got there. This is not a particularly valuable car so you have to be careful how deep you get into it. A full restoration seems out of the question at this time. So first make sure you don't have major mechanical issues.

Two questions - what kind of shape is it in? Have you done this kind of thing before?
