67 caprice

I know this is a disk brake post, but I need help.
I would like to change my 1967 Caprice rear drums to ALUMINUM rear drums.
It would be great if I could purchase these new. But if I need to go to salvage yard what year car, size drum, should I look for? I know some GM cars came with front and rear aluminum drums. My cars rear end is a 12 bolt posi. I have read all kinds of posts regarding rear disk brakes and the benefits just don't seam to be worth the cost. So that’s why I thought that ALUMINUM drums would be a great upgrade.
Thanks for the help
