Usually you just buy the parts you need. I'd avoid the EMPI catalog too, they aren't exactly known for the best quality.

You can use the 68 style drum to convert your 66 to 4-lug. All you are doing wanting stock later front drum brakes right? Just change your wheel bearings over and get the correct grease seal. If you buy new bearings, you'll need to know - do you have the original beam/spindles on there? 66, 67 and into 68 had a different size hub requiring a different inner bearing and seal than mid-68-and-newer.

Here's some online vendors brakes pages if you want prices:
